Crochet is Cool!Double Take on Doubestitch?

| 0 comments

Has anyone seen all the talk on the crafty web about the new book out by a couple of talented crocheting sisters, Erika and Monia Simmons called, Double Stitch: Designs for the Crochet Fashionista ?

For the longest time, knitting has been hogging all the crafty glory, but thanks to these sisters, finally, crochet chicks are coming out of the closet and showing how cool it is to crochet. Yeah! According to the interview, their designs are fairly simple, hmmm…definitely sounds like a Crafty Princess kind of book.

Take note here crafties – These gals have been crocheting since they were kids; this is something they love to do, have done for a long time, have a knack for it, and voila, it became their niche. If you are still trying to find your craft niche, then this is something to think about – seriously, ya know?

You can see a brief interview along with the authors at NBC5.com and I found a Double Stitch fashion video for you too.

Their book is published by Interweave Press, who has a few pages of it you can get peeks at on its web site (though they are pretty tiny as far as reading the print). And, of course, Amazon.com has it for sale too.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
