by KelleyDeal (Author)
Kelley Deal has two lives: as lead guitarist of the band The Breeders, she spends late nights in the recording studio, long hours on the tour bus and evenings basking in bright stage lights and the roar of the crowd. But she also has a passion for knitting - especially one-of-a-kind bags as unique as her music. Tag along with Kelley as she gives you a privileged backstage pass to her cool rock-n-roll world and her knitted bag obsession. Knitters of all skill levels will enjoy the invitation, because they'll get to explore Kelley's stylish choices and get the lowdown on bag-specific features, including frames, straps and linings. Kelley walks them through all the basics on felting, blocking, joining seams, simple crochet and embroidery embellishments and 20 fabulous projects, each with its own 'remix' variation. They include a retro-chic felted tote bag; a runway-ready Prada lookalike and one that even sports drum-head hardware and a bass-guitar string!
