Fun New Listing on Etsy
These two crochet books from 1980 are packed with designs for all sorts of cute animals---pets, jungle animals, barnyard critters, even aquatic creatures! Some of the pieces are crocheted around plastic bottles (great for recycling). Christmas designs too, for those of you getting ready for the next holiday season.
A great resource if you love crafting animals. Please check my Etsy shop at http://www.acadiancrochet.etsy.com
