Never Too Many Handbags: Tips and Techniques--Knitting & Crocheting

Description: This popular guide to creating one-of-a-kind bags will start you on the path to designing your own unique freeform knit and/or crochet purses, but don't expect a 'follow by numbers' pattern book.It certainly gives you the 'how-to' for a variety of different techniques, and a range of interesting motif patterns made using both knitting and crochet, but this book is more to do with providing ideas and inspiration - a starting point to help you take even the most basic of skills into the realms of wearable art.What better way to try your hand at creating your own original freeform design than by starting with a small, useful project such as a one-of-a-kind handbag.This book covers many different methods of construction, including working over store-bought bags, rug canvas or handbag-shaped plastic mesh, and there are lots of high resolution photos of my purses to start the inspiration flowing.You can certainly go out and purchase lovely new yarns for your bags, but this is also a fabulous way to use up all of those small amounts of yarn that you have saved over the years, the little bits that were left over after other projects and were too good to throw out! Once you have sorted them out and chosen a range of colours that will to work well together each time, your own finished bags are sure to become artistic masterpieces. SC, 51 pp., 2006 FOR U.S. BUYERS, I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE AUCTION WINS AT THE COST OF POSTAGE PLUS 19 CENTS TO COVER HANDLING AND MAILING SUPPLIES. FYI: I take a great deal of pride in offering good products....products that I would want to buy myself, at reasonable prices with excellent, careful packaging and some of the most cost effective shipping on Ebay. I send your packages to you based on a simple formula -- one of the best on EBAY.....the actual cost of the shipping plus 19 cents for delivery confirmation. This is for single items or multiple item packages. Delivery confirmation lets you KNOW that I have shipped your purchase and we both know if and when it has been delivered. I charge nothing extra for my time or for my packaging materials. I buy bubble mailers....not the cheap ones, but quality envelopes that protect against rough handling by the USPS and most often gets your book to you in the same condition as it was when I shipped it out. I most often offer at least two shipping options....one that is fast and a bit more expensive and one that is slower and "cheap." Since I primarily sell books this is usually media mail. Media mail by USPS definition, on average takes 3 - 9 business days. If it is a busy time of year, a big box or a destination that is further than most, it can often take longer than that. I ship out within 24 hours of payment (or the next business day if it is a holiday or weekend). I often go to the PO twice a day. That is all that I can do to help insure timely delivery for you. PLEASE KNOW -- I have no control over the time it takes the USPS once the package leaves my hands. . If you win this auction, please consider the above and judge my performance as a seller accordingly when you leave feedback. THANKS!!!
