Knitting 24/7: 30 Projects to Knit, Wear, and Enjoy, On the Go and Around the Clock



Knitting 24/7: 30 Projects to Knit, Wear, and Enjoy, On the Go and Around the Clock
Veronik Avery, Thayer Allyson Gowdy | 2010-01-01 00:00:00 | STC Craft/A Melanie Falick Book | 128 | Do It Yourself
Women who knit often fill a variety of roles throughout the day, from worker or best friend, to mum or wife and though their lives may be busy, they are determined to find time to knit. "Knitting 24/7" is a collection of 30 stylish wardrobe items that fit into these typically busy lifestyles.
The projects represent both what women want to wear, ranging from sweaters, scarves and shrugs to hats and mitts and what they actually have time to knit. The patterns are meant to be worked on in those lovely free moments throughout the day - during a commute to and from work or in the brief sanctity of a child's afternoon nap - thus the stitch patterns are quick to memorize and the projects are easily transportable and can be safely picked up and put down multiple times without risk of losing one's place. Many of the projects feature inventive techniques that make the best of thicker (quicker-to-knit) yarns and flatter all figures. All projects are shown in affordable yarns for knitters who are working within a budget. Gorgeous colour photographs highlight women in their varied roles, evoking the time of day when a particular wardrobe item might be worn.

The Paper Boomerang Book: Build Them, Throw Them, and Get Them to Return Every Time



The Paper Boomerang Book: Build Them, Throw Them, and Get Them to Return Every Time
Mark Latno | 2010-01-01 00:00:00 | Chicago Review Press | 160 | Do It Yourself
When it comes to lightweight avionics, there’s no beating a paper boomerang. Let all the others chase after their dull folded airplanes--you can now build a flying device that comes right back to you, every time! And unlike expensive, heavy wooden boomerangs, you won’t endanger windows and skulls with paper boomerangs.

The Paper Boomerang Book is the first-of-its-kind guide to this fascinating toy. Expert Mark Latno not only tells you how to build, perfect, and troubleshoot your paper boomerang, but about the 20,000-year history of the device, including Egyptian throwing sticks found in pharaoh's tombs, and the physics behind their circuitous flights. And once you’ve mastered the basic throw, return, and catch, it’s on to more impressive tricks--the Behind-the-Back Toss, the Boomerang Juggle, the Under-the-Leg Catch, and the dreaded Double-Handed, Backward, Double-Boomerang Throw.
For those who don’t have the luxury of the wide-open outback on a clear Australian day, author Latno includes plans for Little Dragons, miniature versions of the paper boomerang that can be used indoors in almost any sized room, rain or shine
