Dirty little crafting secret... I am a pretty ghetto crafter/seamstress. That should be the name of my blog! HAHAH! Anyway. I dont use patterns very often unless they are super simple and easy. I dont do anything the hard way if there is an easier way. (with a few exceptions like blind seams which I think are a MUST in certain instances) And when I see something I like in a store (craft or other) I like that I have the talent to re-create it so I dont have to buy it. (Im admitting that all my ideas are not my own here! hahah! SHOCKER!)

My mother started me on this fulfilling road and I will forever be grateful to her! But that is for another blog post. The point is that I saw this book referenced on another blog and it looks like it is right up my alley. Simple, basic instructions to help you learn to work with knits. Since I recently got a serger I decided that I wanted this book! Lucky for me... I had a gift certificate for amazon so I went online and ordered it.

The whole point of this post would be that this is really out of character for me. I dont read how-to books... I just figure out how-to. (usually with much wailing and gnashing of teeth) But maybe I am growing... whadda ya think? ;)

Best part #2? I am going to be hitting the fashion district in LA next week on my trip home so I am going to look for some awesome knits to start playing with! SA-WEET!
