Crochet Impkins Over a million possible combinations! Yes, really! By Megan Lapp Enter the world of the reclusive yet mischievous Impkins! I'm sure you have seen them out of the corner of your eye from time to time, racing from hiding place to nook or cranny-odd little creatures of stitch and stuffing, of endless variety in form and manner. In these pages, you will not find a taxonomy of their features or a list of the names by which you might call them, you will find guidance on something far more important-the techniques and methods by which you might craft one of these little stitchlings of your very own. It is a wonderful thing, I assure you, to bring an Impkin to life with hook and yarn, and herein you will find the detailed instructions necessary to craft one, with an endless array of options for ears, antennae, hats, wings, tails, scales, horns, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories. Each Impkin is unique, and only you can listen to find out what you long to be. Stitch by stitch, you'll cast a spell, until at last you have made a brand-new creature. Don't be surprised if it asks for a snazzy vest or a satchel to hold its treasures! Though hard to spot at first, when you see one Impkin you can be sure there are more around. Impkins are social little creatures; once you make one, it is sure to clamor for a multitude of friends from your hook! Author Bio: MEGAN LAPP of Crafty Intentions has been creating crochet creatures from her imagination since 2017 and has amassed thousands of fans who just can't wait for her next exciting design. She is the author of Crochet Creatures of Myth and Legend.

from moth holes to accidents with fire. Textile language crops up in the body: mending language works on the body as well as on garments. We describe the body as mending after illness or injury - 'I'm on the mend,' someone might say if they're feeling better. You might hear a doctor or nurse describe a broken bone as 'mending well', or broken bones are often described as knitting back together as the break heals. Pym is interested in exploring the varied evidence of damage, and how repair draws attention to the places where garments and cloth wear down and grow thin.

The Spinner's Blending Board Bible
Spinning 101
By Deborah Held
By Tom Knisely
As more and more spinners delve into fiber preparation for intentional spinning, the blending board has become more popular than ever before. Its space efficient, lightweight, and far less costly than investing in expensive blending tools and machinery. While most spinners know that the blending board makes lovely rolags, few are aware of the many other ways it can be used in one’s fiber preparation practices. In The Spinners Blending Board Bible, widely regarded spinning teacher and writer Deborah Held explains the many ways to use a blending board to its fullest capacity. Step by step, she reveals secrets for maximizing the boards carding and blending properties, providing an as-yet untapped level of know-how for putting the blending board to use in color management, combining fibers and mix-ins, and for creating specific yarn structures in spinning along the woolen and worsted continuum. Beginners and advanced spinners alike will find plenty to learn from her beautiful and instructive photos of fiber, detailed explanations of techniques, and numerous blending "recipes."
Welcome to Toms beginner spinning class! Come on and he will teach you everything you need to know to turn raw wool into your first hand-spun yarn. Tom has been teaching introductory spinning for over 30 years, and in this book, he shares all this knowledge in his easy-to-understand manner, illustrated with photographs to guide you through each of the steps.

Because Tom has taught so many classes of spinners, he knows all the common pitfalls and addresses them with his troubleshooting tips.

He shows you the techniques he uses to get the most from each piece and gives advice on how best to set up your loom for weaving with rags much thicker than your typical weaving thread.
Weaving Western Sakiori A Modern Guide for Rag Weaving
By Amanda Robinette Sakiori is an approach to rag weaving used by Japanese peasants to cope with the scarcity of new cloth for clothing and household textiles. In modern times, there is instead an overabundance of cloth filling up thrift stores and being discarded. Weavers can use this source of "rags" to make useful and surprising new cloth. Depending on the fabric used, results can be rugged and utilitarian (like cotton rugs) or fashionable and delicate (like silk scarves). The book begins with an overview of the history and context of sakiori in Japan, followed by methods and tips for successful rag weaving with a variety of materials and looms, including rigid heddle looms as well as floor looms.

A Year in Flowers
Inspiration for Everyday Living By Shane Connolly Shane Connolly, an internationally renowned and Royal floral designer, spent a year selecting plants and flowers to inspire everyday living using over sixty arrangements in this book. His imaginative use of growing plants, shrubs and trees is inspired by the changing seasons, and his selections are guided by what is available locally and in the wild. His dedication to what is sustainable and recyclable, to what can be replanted outside and enjoyed later, radiates from every page. Beautifully photographed by Jason Lowe, the book is a visual feast of colour and creativity yet remains faithful to what is affordable and what can be enjoyed at home. All the arrangements, including a big celebratory event for each season, are exquisitely simple and easy to achieve.

Each project includes very clear steps and photos, and Steffi also instructs the reader on basic techniques that will help them to make many other projects as well. The book contains chapters on techniques, materials, tools and accessories. There is a chapter on fairies, angels, and people, and the rest of the book is organized by season; it brims with all kinds of treasures, such as pumpkins, gnomes, strawberries, baubles, birds, bees, snails, flowers, the Nativity, mice, and mermaids. All the projects in the book are doable for a beginner. Some aimed at little fingers (no needles involved) and beginners, and some are aimed at those with more experience. Steffi's advice is to have a go!
Making Fairy Folk
30 Magical Needle Felted Characters By Steffi Stern Needle felting is one of the fastest-growing popular crafts in the UK, and Steffi's other books have been hugely popular.

Fabulously engaging photographs throughout complement the illustrations and bring each character to life.
Knit Together, Share Together Simple Knitting for All the Family
By Marja de Haan, Barbara Mees Knitting can bring generations together. This practical and beautifully illustrated book, which contains step-by-step knitting instructions and patterns, was inspired by a granddaughter knitting a simple doll's sweater, her grandmother knitting the doll itself, and the girl's mother knitting a matching sweater for her daughter. Even young children can learn to knit the basic stitches, and this book features projects suitable for every age and stage of experience: from simple dolls' clothes for beginners, to sweaters for children and adults, and knitting the dolls themselves, which is more challenging. Knitting not only stimulates the mind and develops motor skills and dexterity but is also a way of creating something useful, with love, which can be cherished.
