New Books!

This weekend was exhausting for us, physically and emotionally, so I have very little energy today.  But I did want to share some books I found while surfing around. . . 

There's a new book called Debbie Bliss Home coming out this fall.  It has 26 designs -- everything from bags and scarves to home accessories.  Looks like it could be promising.  I love just about anything Debbie Bliss does and I have many of her books, so I'm sure this one will make it's way into my library.

And a new book on dyeing!  Dyeing to Knit by Elaine Eskesen is also due out this fall.  I don't know anything about this book, but I'm always looking for good books on dyeing, so I'm excited when I see new ones come out!

The new book from Iris Schreier, called Modular Knits, looks very interesting!  Some of you may already be getting the free tutorials from Iris Schreier that are available free from Art Yarns.  Now she has a book due out in September, although Amazon says that it ships in 5-10 days, so I'm confused.  The book explains Schreier's modular techniques and includes 25 projects. 

And if sewing is more your cup of tea -- Nancy Crow has a new book coming out called Nancy Crow : Transitions.  This massive (272 pg.) book will have pictures of her quilts, sketches, notes from journals -- all kinds of good stuff! 

And speaking of books -- my order arrived from Amazon Japan today!!!  I'm planning on snuggling into bed tonight with the books after I finish working.  I'll give a full report later this week.  For now, if you are in need of a Japanese Craft book fix, go check out Crafting Japanese.

Crafting Japanese... How did you know I was such a big Japanophile which my browser currently shopping yahoo auctions in Japan.

Thanks for the new resource.

That modular book looks very interesting. That's a technique I want to try next.

Thank you for the Crafting Japanese link...what a find. Here and there I have come across posts with pictures of Japanese craft books, or projects from them. Their crafts can be more adventurous and unique than what is traditionally available to english speaking crafters. Love it! I tried to navigate YesAsia once but was overwhelmed.

That Debbie Bliss book looks neat. I love all her stuff too so it will be fun to see what she does for the home.
