Pretty hairties
These finally arrived in my mail after some hiccups with the postal service! These fabric button ponytail holders from The Magpies Nest are so pretty and they’re made with “Ouchless Goody” hair bands. Shop owner, Renee, from has been most patient and friendly with me when the parcels didn’t reach me a few times. There are even more designs in her shop and she has hair clips and slides too!
The Happy Hooker (Stitch ‘n Bitch Crochet) (ENG)
| The Happy Hooker (Stitch ‘n Bitch Crochet) by Debbie Stoller ISBN-10: 0761139850 NLB Call No: English 746.434 STO -[ART] Following the success of Stitch ‘N Bitch: The Knitter’s Handbook comes The Happy Hooker (Stich ‘n Bitch Crochet). I guess since the first book was so well-received, they’ve got more budget for this one and it now comes with more full-color pages than previously. I have to agree absolutely that knitters can crochet too, and vice versa because I’m a crochet-er who knits! (I’ll be venturing into knitting cables soon!!) |
For those interested in learning how to make amigurumis (Japanese term for crochet stuffies), you can also pick it up by reading this book. Although the English and Japanese patterns are quite different but at least you’ll get the basics.
