Good luck!

This book is THE ONE. Really. I've had it since the 1970's, lent it out and lost it a few times, then buy it back. This intraweb thing makes it much easier to rebuy it! Many of the projects are quite tacky, but if you want to learn something, you can just dig the book out and play with yard or needles until you figure it out.
Have fun. I have not been on a crafty kick lately - maybe I should start again.
