kart., 96 Seiten, US-Preis: 18,95 $

Interweave schrieb The title gives you a big clue: this book is about sisterhood, sharing, crafting, giving, laughing. It’s also about spinning yarn and making socks—not just any old yarn or any old socks, but glorious, zany, wildly colorful yarn for perfect-fitting socks of character. Dip-dyeing, pour-dyeing, and hand-painting yarns or wool rovings is as easy as making homemade soup, whether you use commercial dyes or Kool-Aid®. If you like starting from scratch, spinning one-of-a-kind yarn is easier than you think. And the socks—a pair of well-crafted, perfectly fitting socks is one of life’s true luxuries. It’s all right here in this book. The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook has it all—the techniques, the patterns, the invaluable tips—for creating authentic, perfect, made-to-order footwear. Even socks for new babies or socks with ten toes. And who are the Twisted Sisters? A hospice nurse, a post-doc scholar, an organic farmer, an assistant attorney general for the state of Oregon, a high school teacher, a finance and operations manager, a touch therapist, a mom. Your spinning and knitting mentors, your friends. About the author: Lynne Vogel is a prolific and creative knitter and spinner with a marvelous sense of color. Lynne is an active participant in today’s fiber community and encourages people at all levels to pursue their craft with passion and commitment. She has authored magazine articles and has been a needlepoint designer and painter for A Stitch in Time in San Marino, California. She lives in Sewanee, Tennessee.

Auch so ein Wunschlisten-Buch von mir (aber wahrscheinlich dauert es so lange, bis ich mir das Geld dafür abringen konnte, bis es vergriffen ist ...).

Wer kennt das Buch und kann genaueres darüber sagen?

Zu welchem dieser 3 Bücher würdet Ihr eher raten:
Diesem hier, Kathleen Taylor's Yarns to Dye for oder dieses gerade neu erschienene Buch Elaine Eskesen's Dyeing to Knit?
