For the past 3 months I have been working on this book, it will contain my old patterns from the past 4 years revamped, and about 20 new patterns. All of a total of 50 patterns. The book will also include some of my past special instructions on enlarging patterns, designing patterns, looms and yarns to use, how to make eyes, what kinds of fillings are optional, cleaning, and much more. It will be a 196 page book. Animals all but 2 patterns are done in the 24 peg loom format. Each pattern is rated in skill level as well. Photo tutorials for techniques and stitches so that you don't have to have video footage to make the animals. Older footage, if available, will be placed as links in the book in the "Video Index"
Right now the book is in editing and will be sold on Ravelry, CinDwood, and Amazon in PDF format. It will be sold in paperback on Amazon and CreateSpace. I plan on doing a special when the book is ready and in print to do 40 copies signed and come with a single animal that was made for the book for a special price. My tentative plan is for the book to be about $30 and for signature copies with animals $60. Please keep an eye on this post for when the book will be available.
The book is officially available in PDF on Ravelry, CinDwood, Create Space, and Amazon.
Feel free to take a look below at the collections that will be involved in the book!!!
Here are some photos of what will be shown inside the book for loom and yarn options, before and after cleaning in certain yarns, eye options available and much more.
Can't wait to buy this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh how cute! I especially love the elephants. One of my old family surnames is "Oliphant" and they are in the armorial bearings of the family. It would be great to be able to make an elephant to represent those forefathers.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend!
I'm enjoying making the animals you have on your YouTube channel, I was looking for a lion for a friend's little boy. I see there is one included in the book. Am I reading this right that we can get it now, in PDF format? I'll have to go check. But I DO want this book!! So many animals I wanna make, and give to sick children who need a little friend to cuddle. Oh, another question: do we have to use the CinDwood looms, or are the Boye' looms OK for these?? Thanks so much!!
