Knitting, beading and stitching projects to make - or not. Whatever. &break;&break;If you would describe your favorite crafts as "supercute" - no, let us rephrase: If the idea of handcrafting the most nauseatingly adorable plush bunny you've ever seen sets your heart atwitter - feel free to stop reading.

For you and your likeminded AntiCraftspeople, we have hand-selected twenty-five projects from the most talented crafters you'll never find in the mainstream (whatever that even means). Behold:&break;&break;Creations your goody-goody little sister will roll her eyes at, including snake-motif thigh-highs and a duct-tape corset.&break;&break;Tips and sidebars to celebrate (with as much enthusiasm as any of us can muster) your delightfully dark nature, including suggested mood-enhancers (soundtracks, movies, etc.) for making each and every item.&break;&break;Basic techniques for knitting, crochet and jewelry-making virgins - complete with step-by-step photos to save you from the embarrassment of asking that annoyingly perky coworker for help.&break;&break;Join us in the AntiCraft movement - where self-expression, no matter how socially unacceptable, is given a scalpel and room to operate.

This book has so many goodies tucked away in it, I love it. I now want to try my hand at beading thanks to this book!
Why put beading in the title of a book that is 95% knitting and crocheting? I was disappointed.
