There's so much more to this book than I expected. There aren't just project instructions. There are complete sets of swatches, samples, and suggestions for altering the projects as given, instructions on techniques, and discussions of supplies and choosing the right materials. While a couple of projects are not things I'm likely to actually produce (and yes, here I am thinking about those suspenders!), there are so many ideas and projects that I am delighted to have purchased this book. The variations on i-cord jewelry alone could keep me busy with all my leftover ends of sock yarn and a few tubes of seed beads. The instructions on hemming and adding oddly shaped or small-holed beads are delightful, and I am definitely looking forward to making the pearl choker. All-in-all a very worthy addition to the library of any crafter interested in these techniques.… (altro)
