more flea market finds

This one speaks for itself. Of course I bought it for the cover, but it turns out that there are some pretty cool patterns in it that I might try (because experimentation is perfectly normal).

I also bought another book that isn't quite as entertaining, but has some really nice patterns for bags and shoes (!). The shoes all call for "cork wedge soles" with various style numbers. I guess they have a row of stitches along the sole that you crochet into. I doubt you can still buy them, but I'm sure I can come up with a substitute if I feel a need to do a little cobbling.
