Shhhhh! I'm supposed to be working, not blogging. You won't tell, right? Actually my real sin here is not blogging, but reading craft blogs. I woke up early this morning to "work," but have been cruising the blogosphere instead. Anyhow...I ran into this book again.
I had seen the Japanese version last year over here and was smitten, but filed it under "Oh those adorable Japanese crafters - mine would never come out this cute." Which still may be the case, but now I'm seeing more folks trying them and it's making me want to give it a go - especially now that an English language version of the book is available (and for only 10 buckaroos)!
Here are a few made-by-real-folks versions to check out: Wise Craft, House on Hill Road, Simple Sparrow, and this Flickr group (my favorite's got to be this little burro).
Best of all we have a whole box of socks here in our apartment. For reasons only known to him (but laziness is my guess), my husband has an entire box of socks he never opened or unpacked after our move last year. He claims he doesn't like any of those socks and has instead been buying new ones. So I can't just let these poor neglected socks sit there can I? It's my crafty duty! So I'll report back on this when I've tried one (probably in a few months if I'm being realistic). If you try one, let me know so I can check it out and get tips!
