The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet

About the author
Marie Jane Cooper is known for The New Guide to Knitting & Crochet, a craft handbook first published in the 1840s and later preserved by projects such as Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive.
The surviving record available online points much more clearly to her work than to her personal life. Her book is a detailed, instructional guide to knitting and crochet, and its continued circulation suggests it remained useful well beyond its original era.
Because reliable biographical information about her appears to be scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to describe her as a nineteenth-century craft writer whose name is chiefly remembered through this enduring manual.
