Such lovely colored doilies, and the crocheted hunting trophy really made me smile, even though I don’t know what a yak yak is. But my absolute favorite is the mobile with the crocheted fishes, that reminds me of an aquarium where all kinds of colored fishes lazily swim through the field of vision. The fishes in this mobile will need to be about the same weight, whales or sharks wouldn’t be suitable. It looks like this book was originally published in November or December, just in time to make the Christmas related stuff. No publishing date is mentioned, just Printed in the USA. And where many Star Books have numbered patterns, these only have names.
