~Worth It!
Alt Fiber by Shannon Okey
Retail $19.95, 25 patterns, 115 pages
I REALLY like the beginning section of this book!  I love the section about natural dyes, and I like that she covered more types of fiber than No Sheep For You did.  As far as patterns go, I don't think I would buy the book if it were just for the patterns, but I would definitely consider it for the info about natural dyes!!  Give it a look!!

  1. Thanks to you I joined audible.com. Downloaded a free NIV Bible - dramatized version. I've been listening to it every morning while walking the dog. It is so realistic, like you are right there! Can't wait to pick out the next selection. Thanks!
