for my class this semester, i’m working on developing a database filled with crafty bloggers who have written books that include a quick-to-make project. for now, i’m sticking with my “needlereads” title that i’ve used at work for the past few years and limiting the database to fiber arts projects (i.e. only fabric/yarn/thread based crafts). here’s where i need your help. i’d like to come up with a pretty solid (although it doesn’t need to be exhaustive) list of crafty bloggers who’ve written such a book, but i don’t personally read every single craft blog. i don’t follow any knitting or crochet blogs (do crochet blogs exist?) and i can only think of one blogger who has written a book specifically about embroidery (alicia paulsen of posie gets cozy). i’m avoiding books that only deal with pure technique or history or information like, say, fabric type, but don’t have any quick projects (i.e. ones that can be completed in 2 hours or less–i’ll make some exceptions for knitting projects…).
do you read and love a blog whose author has published a project-based crafty book? please leave either the book title, author’s name, or blog title in the comments section below. thanks for your help!
