Golden Hands- "Egging on in crochet"



I love Golden Hands, how to books from the 1970's.  I have been collecting them for a short bit.  And credit many of my new ideas to these lovely discoveries.  I do not see myself making a crochet egg cozy any time soon, but I love how indulgent and sweet such a thing is.  It makes me think of the graffiti artists' Knitta who make cozzies for objects all over the world.  I hope you enjoy them as much as me.  I will keep posting my Golden Hands finds each week.  Something to look forward to.
