Book Review: Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot By Mary Beth Temple


Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot
By Mary Beth Temple

Review written by David.

I am not a crocheter. I make a few things via loom knitting, so I could empathize a little with Mary Beth Temple’s plight in her book Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot.


But you know what, even if you don’t know the difference between a crochet hook and a fishing hook you will enjoy this book.  I know too well about going to the yarn store and spending more money than anticipated.

Temple talks about the odd questions that she get in public when she is crocheting.  As of yet, this 6’3” 275 pound redneck has not been asked a single question when he sits his 5 gallon paint bucket down at the doctor’s office and takes out a loom and starts working with it. I suppose they figure if they don’t make any sudden moves they will be safe.

It really doesn’t matter if you know anything about yarn or yarn products at all.  You will get a belly laugh out of Hooked for Life.

We give it all five stars.  It is the kind of book you will tell your friends to buy, but you won’t loan them your copy.

Book Review: Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot By Mary Beth Temple


Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot
By Mary Beth Temple

Hooked for Life: Adventures of a Crochet Zealot has to be one of the funniest books that I’ve read in a very long time.  

Mary Beth Temple knows inside out how life is for a crocheter. From loathing weaving in thousands of ends and discrimination to perpetually fighting the battle of Yarn Mountain, she understands the lows and highs of a crochet addiction.  

A hook instead of a needle is our paraphernalia of choice and it never fails to deliver a hit when we need one, just as Mary Beth never fails to deliver at least a smile and, more often than not, a giggle or outright belly laugh.


She has a wonderful sense of humor. Just don’t ever call her a Happy Hooker!
