Editorial Reviews

"The knitted Mohawk hat is officially the coolest woolen creation I have ever seen and I am the hugest fan of Jaqui and Alyce's madly skilled yarn crafting talents." Michele Romero, Entertainment Weekly

Product Description
Another boring scarf? More mittens? We're not gonna take it! And neither should you!

Pretty in Punk salutes counterculture fashion with 25 entirely original designs inspired by fashion icons Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, and punk legends. Indulge your girly side with the Ready Steady Go mini skirt, rebel with Feel the Pain wrist cuffs, or channel your inner rock star with the very same Mohawk hat Depeche Mode's Martin Gore wears on stage. Whether you're new to knitting or a veteran desperately seeking patterns with an edge, you'll find projects here for every mood and every genre. With step-by-step instructions, helpful technical illustrations and intarsia graphs, plus high-fashion photos of all the finished projects, Pretty in Punk is the only authority on anti-authority knitting.

Abode a la Mode is a great book aimed at "hip, young renters on a budget". It's something I'd actually enjoy receiving as a present from my mom. (via iVillage)

Description

You know all those cool designs everyone is getting on their canvas bags, jackets and AA shirts? Well, you can do it yourself with some Photoshop skills, a sheet of acetate or mylar paper and some paints. For $35 you can get this wicked kit...or for another $35 you can get hopped up on another brand of speedball and silkscreen like a fiend. (via Dick Blick)

Robot Pattern Book

Description

While technically robot spaceboy isn't actually a robot unless the boy is a humanoid bot inside of an robot costume, I still think this DIY robot doll kit is adorable. (via Make Store)
