Straightforward and Practical
This book offered ideas appropriate for the industry. I am a marketing professional (in another field) and originally felt that this book would not tell me anything I did not already know. I was Wrong! The ideas and suggestions presented here gave me an insight into the peculiarities of this industry. I learned and applied a lot of the information to my newly formed jewelry business.

Knit So Fine: Designs with Skinny Yarn

Interweave Press, 2008

Sophisticated, quality patterns
I saw this book in the local book store and intend to buy it soon. The designers did a superb job of bringing quality and sophistication in the "chunky, funky, teeny-bopper" trend that seems to be popular now. I also like that the patterns seem to hug a woman's body in all the right places. (And not just because all the models are 16yrs old like in other books.)These are patterns for a woman's ...

She also shares "her world" throughout the book, which means that you get to understand in a profound way why her glass designs are so beautiful. She ...

The title says it all
Reviewed by Janelle Martin Subtitled: Knit happy with cotton, silk, linen, hemp, bamboo & other delights Amy Singer, editor and founder of Knitty.com, learned to knit at age six, and as she puts it, "learned she was allergic to wool soon after."

Jean Campbell

Interweave Press, 2005

For beginners just venturing into the art of beading...
When I first started beading, I bought several bead books. Many of them were a waste of time-but not this one. I refer back to it often for basic information. While it may be a little boring for advanced users, beginners will find it extremely helpful. Getting Started Stringing Beads includes information on shopping for beads (which helped me to understand how bead stores work-I would have ...

Interweave Press, 2008

Excellent book on technique for beginning and intermediate wire wrappers.
What a wonderful book on wire wrap. As a relative newcomer to wire and as an instructor for beginning wire wrappers, I am always looking for books to enhance my own ability as well as to enrich the classes I teach. I currently have in excess of 25 books on jewelry making, beading and wire wrap. Even though this book primarily presents bracelet projects (8 bracelets, one pendant, one ring, one ...

I love the historical background stories, and the knitting
I love the little ethnic/historical stories that go with each shawl. And that there are shawls from all over the world. These are the practical shawls that women can really use, not just museum pieces that will be used once for a special ocassion, wrapped in tissue and put away somewhere. The directions are clear and the drawings are great. And, I liked seeing each shawl on the author. ...

The Best of Interweave Knits: Our Favorite Designs from the First Ten Years (Interweave)

12 reviews

Interweave Press, 2007

Timeless and beautiful from cover to cover
One of the reviewers said "timeless classics" and that is THE best review this book can get. Not a single ugly pattern in this book - all of them are timeless, beautiful and perfect. The Forest Path Stole is so beautiful I'd like to wear it on my wedding day (happily enough, seems I still have time to learn how to make it - it's terribly complicated). At first I was irritated by the "how to ...

Louisa Harding

Sometimes it's a perfect match...
I bought this book for it's potential gift resources and discovered that the author and myself have very similar taste in yarn and accessories; so much so that for once I actually had the same yarns at hand for the patterns. We just clicked, and so did my needles. So far the patterns have been true to measure, really cute, and the recipients have loved them. I've combined some of these designs ...

Making Polymer Clay Beads: Step-by-Step Techniques for Creating Beautiful Ornamental Beads

Carol Blackburn

Interweave Press, 2007

Worth the price
I own several polymer clay books and have waited months for the release of this book. I was not disappointed in any way. There are detailed instructions and clear photos for many techniques of bead making that I have not seen in other books. Although the gallery of works is fairly small, each instruction page contains finished projects that are fine examples of the craft. This is probably not ...
