my pie in the sky wishlist at powells. really though, i can get more book elsewhere for cheaper so i'm all about the gift certificates! ;)
i'm not interested in making any money off of any of this, i just wanted to be able to post the book cover pictures because that's prettier and more interesting.
theoretically, i would get a comission off of any purchases through this site, but a) i'm not expecting a dime, and b) if i do get a dime, it'll go to a charity. which? not sure. if you have any ideas/inclinations, please tell me.
also, check out the following sites for (usually) cheaper prices: bookfinder.com, alibris.com, overstock.com, & bookcloseouts.com.
this book fills in where stitch n’ bitch, and vogue reference as well, leave off – at least in regards to casting on, binding off, buttonhole-making, increases and descreases, seaming, and more.
the pictures are great, the explanations are clear, the writing is simple but understanding (!). i also much appreciate that it is spirally-bound, making it handy to open and easier to keep open.
lastly, i love that not only do they explain how but also why you would choose one method over the other, in a way that for some reason just clicks with me.
[note: i have no idea why powell’s image is so old-fashioned looking. they must not have updated the image they have to reflect the new edition they’re selling.]
