This book is great! The patterns are funny and easy to do. A must for anyone with a surly side.

My wife and I stumbled across this neat little book while browsing at a Whole Earth Provisions store, of all places. Not only is it a funny and edgy concept, but what's neat is that the instructions are clear and simple and the patterns are for real. So you can replicate the crazy designs the author has done, or add your own touches as well. Julie Jackson's writing is fresh and funny and the graphic design of the book itself is very cool.. clean, elegant, and engaging. This would make a really good gift for the slightly crafty and slightly off-center person in your life.. or for yourself, if you are that person (you know who you are). I can't wait to see more patterns and ideas in future books.

Just recieved it and I have already done two of them. It is definately an inspirational book. I have so many ideas now, it has really given me a jumping off point! I'm going to spread my subversiveness as far and wide as I can!

Hats off (caps, visors, tiaras...WHATEVER!) for this delightfully fun and geniously creative book based on what can be an otherwise vanilla (yawn!) branch of the crafty arts. Ms. Jackson (is that Julie, if you're nasty?) has turned her efforts at recreational therapy into a springboard for others who are disgruntled with our world full of pink bunnies and fuzzy teddy bears. Let your creative juices flow after becoming inspired by this new approach to an age old means of artistic expression. I'll be picking up a needle & floss for the first time in almost 30 years thanks to my delving into this lovely little book. FUN, FUN, and more FUN!
