Totally totally wrong. This is such a cool and beautiful book. There are a bunch of things I want to make here, and I am not a teenager... Yes, there are things I will never make - but perhaps I will actually make them for some other use! I love the arm warmers, and all the different jewellery - this is actually the first time I like crochet jewellery, and the first time I am tempted to get into beading or other ways of making jewellery. Some absolutely gorgeous designs which look like the really expensive designer costume jewellery I spend way too much on... and a cute (not corny) wheel of the year skirt. Some cute bags and other acessories, and a rather tempting duct tape top.... Good buy! Review: THIS is the craft book I was waiting for.... - I don't know quite where to begin in praising this book! It has a nice (I know, not the word the authors would apreciate.) selection of just about everything you could think of from knitting, beading, sewing, etc. with a few odd bits which include hosting a party right up to advice on child rearing. It is functional and hysterical! For those of us who are lacking in conventionality Rigdon and Stewart have produced the website and book to cater to our, possibly questionable, needs. My only conflict with this book is where to begin? I want to do it all! Right now! It is unfortunate that I did not recieve this book in time to knit everyone I know an "Immaculate Heart" for Christmas. The Blood Cordial (pg.73) would have come through in a pinch if I hadn't wound up hoarding it all for myself. As a previous reviewer noted, "this book is a keeper". Having become a devotee of both the book and the website, I can only force everyone I know to get their mitts on this book, log on, and beg the authors for another fantastic follow-up! So get your Anti-Craft on, or don't. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,674,115 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #709 in Beadwork #2,340 in Knitting (Books) #124,471 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | ## Images ![Anticraft: Knitting, Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uIAQEJraL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much fun! *by C***K on January 23, 2008* I ordered this on the off-chance, and thought it would probably be yet another tome full of quirky stuff I would never make - or worse, more of the grungey badly made stuff that fills so many alt craft books.

The patterns and projects are really unique and very clearly written. In between are these great inspirational bits like the history of the *real* inventor of crochet (Captain Hook), a quiz to find out your perfect lair (Haunted Mansion for me) and directions on throwing an Anticrafty party. The title says "knitting, beading and stitching" but there is a whole section of miscellaneous projects in other mediums. All in all, I have not regretted this purchase for a minute and have found some great stuff to use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Anticraft: Knitting, Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister - DomiKNITrix: Whip Your Knitting Into Shape --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/6961733-anticraft-knitting-beading-and-stitching-for-the-slightly-sinister](https://www.desertcart.us/products/6961733-anticraft-knitting-beading-and-stitching-for-the-slightly-sinister) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
