TELL US UR FAV CRAFT BOOK? Refer one to us!
Basically, this chatroom is for people to tell us a really good craft book that they think others may like. Tell us the title & the author if u can, & why in the world ur telling us about it. I can't spend my entire life sitting in Barnes n Noble reading through each book one by one till I find a really good one to buy....gosh that place is so unorganized in the Knitting section. But it would be nice to here some offers from others, and it doesn't have to be knitting accourse, just a suggestion.
Reasons for this: (or an example) Basically, if during ur B-Day or X-Mas, if somebody wants to buy u a book of somesort for ya, u can look at this list of good books to get, pick one and see if u get. But hey, if u got no idea what to ask for, u can always look at what somebody else would ask for that fits ur likings. =^-^=

I've made two projects from Kirsten Cowan's Irresistible Knits, and have a third in progress. She has a wonderful sweater style, and the projects range from easy to experienced. Also, Hot Knits is another sweater book, this one strictly for ladies' sweaters, that has some amazing projects in it. A friend of mine wanted me to knit her the coat from that book, and I've already made a beautiful fair isle sweater. It's companion book, Hip Knits, is one I've been meaning to get. If you can't find a book at B&N, try a used bookstore. I got both the afore-mentioned books at Half-price Books. Used bookstores often have older books that you don't see anymore too, which can be good if a classic is out of print. Those you need to especially flip through, to see if you like the styles. I've found a lot of old bad 80s sweater patterns in those books. sweatdrop Some are great finds, though - and you're saving trees and money at the same time!

NightRainSpirit Shara_Lunison I've been using The Doll Book to make some fabric dolls. It has a lot on the history of dollmaking, and lots of patterns in the back that you can copy to make the dolls and various period clothing for them. It's really neat. I'll post the dolls I've been making in another thread when I've finished making them some clothes. lol Can't wait, I never was good at making 3D Dolls, but I was good at making paper dolls, I just had to use fancy scrapbook paper to make unique dresses, but urs sound way better since they're fabric made. xd
I'm actually replacing a pair of paper dolls I made for one of my professors. The originals were made out of cardstock, but I actually sewed together simple clothes for them. If they were real people, I think I would have broken every bone in their bodies by the time I finished getting those clothes on. sweatdrop
