This delightful book is entirely devoted to the creation of origami boxes-plain or fancy, playful or practical, and elaborate boxes topped with cranes, butterflies, lilies, stars, and more.FABULOUS ORIGAMI BOXES includes designs for nesting boxes, simple triangle and square boxes and more complex hexagonal and octagonal boxes. Detailed illustrations provide step-by-step instructions on the correct way to crease and fold origami paper. Many of the designs are made of one sheet of paper, but some combine individual units with intriguing results.Both practical and lovely, these boxes can be used for gift-giving, storing trinkets, or simply for display.

    This volume is a comprehensive pattern library of 450 knitting stitches, from simple to ornate, including knit and purl patterns, basic cables, and rib and edging patterns.

    The companion volume to 450 Knitting Stitches, this book introduces hundreds of additional stitches and patterns, including lace panels, cable patterns and panels, and patterns for texture and color.

    This book is printed individually on uncoated (non-glossy) paper with the best quality printers available. The printing quality of this copy will vary from the original offset printing edition and may look more saturated. The information presented in this version is the same as the latest edition. Any pattern pullouts have been separated and presented as single pages. If the pullout patterns are missing, please contact c&t publishing.

    Colour photographs of the finished patterns and black and white charts are supplied where appropriate.

    Presents the squares that you can crochet using worsted weight yarn, fine baby yarn, or chunky yarn.

    As you operate the mechanisms, the Hopping Sheep hop energetically and the Pecking Hen pecks keenly into its feeder. The rather sad Motley Man bows and acknowledges the applause he has earned and while The Flying Fish does not actually fly, it does flap its wings and undulate in a delightfully unexpected manner. Each of the mechanisms uses a different principle to generate motion, so this book is of special interest to those who like to see what remarkable things can be achieved with paper.

    A handy guidebook that includes eighty ornamental and useful knots with easy-to-follow; with step-by-step illustrations.
