Craft book recommendations?

[mousiemousie]

Can anyone recommend any books that are worth buying on papercrafts and/or scrapbooking or knitting?

Thank you!

what do you want to make? Stuff for you, for the kids?

Do you need basics or ideas?

I've got a fantastic scrapbooking book in the for sale bit. I have read it a lot, but its still like new.

Stuff for me! Just wondered if anyone had any favourites...basics or new ideas!!!! Do you have any personal faves fillyjonk?

no no no

I shall lure you to the way of knitting, mousie.

YG I can't find it, can you link?
And Filly - any good knitting books? I have a few so for knitting it would be ideas not basics!

I'm after £6 inc pnp for mine, its the hardback version.

thanks yorkiegirl and fillyjonk I will have a think! I need to spend £20 on Amazon to get £5 off! Already have stitch n bitch but will think about the other recommendations!

tell us how it goes!

don't buy from Amazon! Go for mine.... lol

I promise if I get the scrapbooking one it will be yours I get not Amazon#s, YorkieGirl!

I am still in pondering and research mode as I don't have much free time this week to work out which books would be the best!

I got quite a few from our library. Found that there was usually more stuff you didn't need, than things that were useful - so tend not to buy & just borrow!

I tend to agree with whizzz, plus internet has so much free info too.

I do like looking at finished products though, like in erika knight. Then I can get inspired and do something totally different...

oooh here are some good sites though
