ABOUT THE BOOK
Handicrafts are once again taking off. Countless blogs and websites have appeared to promote creative projects involving knitting, sewing, and crocheting, which are all gaining in popularity. A certain amount of friendly competition has even emerged in the effort to share projects with other enthusiasts, for example on Facebook and other social media. But book publishers are also giving creative talents more and more opportunities to share their knowledge. Three such talented individuals are the well-known designers Rachel Søgaard, Stine Hoelgaard Johansen, and Karen Marie Dehn. Their new handicraft book, Homemade, is a must-have book for readers seeking creative inspiration for their handicraft projects. The book picks up on all the latest trends and provides ideas for every kind of handicraft project - both big and small.

Politiken's new handicraft book presents 58 exciting new patterns for items you can make, both for the home and for personal use. The instructions are written in a simple, easy-to-follow style so that you can quickly get started. The book has designs for every reader: those who are beginners, those who have had some experience, and those who are very familiar with handicraft techniques. You'll find plenty of interesting tips and techniques. The book includes beautifully clear illustrations and photographs of all the designs: crocheted pillows, coverlets, shawls, vests, and covers for your Mac computer; knitted mittens with embroidered peace signs and stitched patchwork quilts; a fur vest, a poncho with inventive knitted patterns, and clever small items, such as coffee-cup warmers; along with many other ideas. You can either follow the instructions or use the book and its illustrations as inspiration for your own projects.
