Crochet lovers will embrace Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot, a book that lovingly and humorously explores the craft of crochet and is written by a true crochet zealot. Mary Beth Temple, a well-known author in the crafting world and a self-admitted crochet junkie, gives an insider's look at what makes real crocheters tick and laugh with a number of humorous essays. Excerpt from the book: "Just the other day I uttered a phrase that stopped traffic in my household, a phrase I never in a million years thought I would utter. I was sorting through yet another box of yarn that appeared as if by magic, trying to lower the square footage of wool that is all over my living room, and in frustration I yelled out "I have too much yarn!" You could hear crickets chirping in the aftermath--my daughter looked at me as if I had three heads, even the dog cocked her head and started to slink slowly away from the crazy woman. Did I really say I had too much yarn? Was I sick with fever?"

Maybe it will be the oddball idea, perhaps the unique appearance, or possibly the out-of-the-ordinary material, but every one of these designs is the brainchild of a first-class designer, and will have crocheters of all levels completely hooked. Rather than working with ordinary yarn or thread, try using nylon mason's twine (for leg warmers), marabou boas, and even plastic bags. And don't worry: as wild and way-out as the projects are, they all use traditional, familiar techniques and there's a handy reference guide of basic crochet stitches at the back.--B.I.P.

The proposal of this second volume of Leituras is to address the debate on the global South from other models of constructing reality and to speculate on the potential impact of alternative forms of organization on current times. To this end, it compiles a series of non-Western cosmologies which, while not new, present renewed interest and originality for their reduced visibility. Such forms of organization condense a more integrated kind of involvement of the individual with the collective, but also with his symbolic and natural environment; therefore, they have a direct impact on how reality is understood and constructed.

Detailed photography and step-by-step visual instructions guide readers to create stunning projects using Kogin-zashi stitching. Alongside a robust stitch library, readers will find 10 projects to showcase their Kogin-zashi work. Unwind from the stress of everyday life with the slow, meditative process of forming one stitch at a time that is sashiko Master the art of kogin embroidery, a type of sashiko stitching perfect for embellishing everything from wearables to everyday objects Learn from prolific teachers Shannon and Jason who have been teaching for 20 years in local and national venues
