--Staff Picks General

Looking to update your millennial gray home to the latest boho decor? Or simply to learn a fun, new craft? Check this book out to pick up some new skills in knotting and design from a seasoned fiber artist. This is a comprehensive guide. It begins with information about the best supplies to purchase and where to get them, then moves on to creating, basic, then, more complex knots. For me, the best part is the photography, which clearly illustrates the step-by step-instructions. For visual learners, these pictures are what make the book most useful and instructive. There are twenty projects to complete in this volume, including complex projects like intricate wall tapestries and hanging plant holders. Author, Alisha Ing, also offers helpful troubleshooting advice. All of this information helps make this creative art form accessible to newbies.
