Magic Yarn Ball Swap Round 8: The Gallery

[k-roc]

As a follow-up to K-roc's picture post, I just wanted to add another picture of the tiny book I hand bound for her. It has 80 pages and is approximately 1" x 1". It has some green felt on the back of the spine for extra spiffiness.

I had no idea you hand bound that tiny book! I love it, but now I LOVE it! You shoulda told me so I could give you the credit you deserve you crazy gal!

When you told me you loved tiny things (and the whole you making tiny things), I knew I had to make a tiny book for you. I'm still really new at book binding being my second book so I decided that 1" was tiny enough for me at the moment. I totally envy those that post the earring sized books.

the binding looks great! I am by no means an expert, but I know how hard that can be, even after doing tons of books. Is that a "sewing on tapes" style binding?

Oh awesome stuff everyone. I wisted the butter beer necklace, that is insanely cool. I really liked those yarn ball magnets and the gold fish too.

I'm not sure what kind it is. I initially used a tutorial that was put up here, and have found many other similar binding tutorials through google. Today I found it again under 'moleskin book' or something to that effect.

It's square! Inside the ball:


A pattern book for making a tartan rug.


A Fun Fur rug I LOVE IT! Whenever I walk over it, I pause and wiggle my toes in it Kudos for you, macreede for working with Fun Fur!


Inside:
Assorted yarn bobbins
2 special needles to weave in chains for the tartan rug
cell phone cozy
Washcloth with fancy stitch pattern

Everything is great. Thanks macreede!
