D.I.Y. Design it Yourself (Design Handbooks)

ISBN-10: 1568985525

There are a few sections in this book that are exceptionally close to my heart now that I have left the design industry to become a personal banker in a financial industry. My favorite sections in this book includes Books: where they discuss binding techniques, Housewares: very zakka-ish, Stickers: print your own and stick’em, reminds me of good old Stickernation that’s now defunct (I hope they bring it back one day), Wall Graphics: cut vinyl to decorate the walls in your home, and Zines: create your own indie zine.

#09: AVRIL’s Playing with Yarn NO. 1

Books, Craft books, Shop February 16th, 2008

BOOK SOLD!

This is a brand new craft book which I bought in Japan, you’ll be getting a new copy in a sealed plastic bag (I scanned my own copy). I thought that this was a funny book because it teaches you how to knit and crochet with your fingers instead of the regular needles! There are instructions with photos so you can follow even if you don’t read Japanese. Also included are patterns for making scarves, bags and camisoles with your fingers!
