SUMMARY- I finally broke down and coughed up the money for Mary Konior's nontatting books - so glad I did. She is equally astonishing as an expert in crochet and its history. This book has a lot of fascinating visuals, interesting tidbits of crochet history, and good explanations of patterns. I am so very happy that I was able to add this to my library.

Judith Connors wrote a small biographic piece for Craftree.
