In a world where every material desire can be filled by ready-made, machine-perfect goods, why do some people still insist on doing things by hand?The Crafter’s Companion is for everybody who loves the world of hand-crafts and anybody who’s ever wondered what exactly there is to love about it. An on-line community of skilled artists have come together to answer these questions:* Why do you create?* What inspires you?* How do you work?Additionally, each artist has contributed a pattern of her own design, making The Crafter’s Companion the ideal resource for practical projects and encouraging words.
