I'd like to try knitting! This is a set of two books: "Irish Crochet Lace" and "30 Crochet Shawls and Stoles." I purchased them a few years ago from Mercari or an online used bookstore. I checked the contents and they seem to be in good condition. I don't think there are any markings, but I might have missed something. Please consider this when you are thinking about purchasing. Thank you for looking.
