My favorite craft book would have to be my Encyclopedia of Quilting.
I love to sew, but I've been doing an awful lot of crochet lately!! :D I think my favorite has to be working with polymer clay.
My favourite book is a Japanese softies book. I love cheesai nuigurumi (small stuffies) Petit boutique series and the Cotton Time 50 with lots of softies in them.
Both are out of print but they are great books, I don't read Japanese but I can follow the directions as they are so well illustrated.
My favorite craft book? Too hard, I have sooo many. One at the top of my list right now is: Mixed Mania by Debbi Crane.

I like the Big Book of Monsters by Rebecca Danger and Debbie Stoller's Happy Hooker.

My favorite book is "handmade beginnings" by Anna Maria Horner. I made alot from the book already for my newborn son.
I really like my copy of Kids' Crafternoon: Papercraft. There's a lot of cute projects and not just for the kids.
Thanks a lot for this amazing giveaway!
Hm! I'm Czech, so my favourite crafting books won't tell you much - but I found "Make Your Own Patterns" by Rene Bergh very useful for getting a hang on how sewing patterns work - that one's international. Although I guess there must be loads of other pattern-making books out there and this one might not even be the best (probably isn't, because it's not often referenced).
I've always wanted to make amigurumi, but crocheting and me don't quite pair up... Maybe the book would help me. Thank you for hosting the giveaway!
What a great book! my favorite right now is I love patchwork by Rashida Colmane-Hale. thanks!
I love Martha Stewart's Fabric crafting book! She makes everything look so easy! Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
Martha Stewart book of crafting is really cool!!!!!! thans for the giveaways!!!!!
my favorite craft book right now - as in the one I use the most is little girls big style.
i love "one yard wonders"

Laces from Estonia:-) Lovely giveaway, I do really like it.
This book looks amazing. I am just getting into crochet and some amigurumi is next on my list of things to try. My current favourite book is Little Crochet by Linda Permann.
I like wee wonderfuls. It's full of cute stuff! lol. Thanks for the chance to win this! I am just learning to crochet too, so this would be great!
Favourite craft book is More Last Minute Knitted Gifts.
I don't buy many craft books, mostly I get patterns and ideas online. I enjoy crocheting and have looked at some of the different amigurumi books I also like books with projects to make for babies and children

My favourite craft book ... that is hard. I have a few craft books and I get many from the library. I am not sure whether there is one that I could pick over ALL others. :-) I usually take something from almost every book. One book I own and I really love though is "Free and easy stitch style". I have not made any of the projects in the book - but I am doing applique the way it is explained in the book and I love it. It explains the technique so well!!! And the projects are cute and inspirational!
Thanks for the fun giveaway,
Ms Muffin

I don't really have a favorite one, but this one looks good. Thanks for the giveaway!
kessilari(at)gmail(dot)com
I've been really liking the Oliver + S sewing book lately... I've made a ton of presents out of it and the patterns are so well thought out and easy to follow.
Hmm..I don't have a favorite craft book. I browse the knowledge from the sewing blog.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I don't know if I have a favorite, but I do like One Yard Wonders. This book looks fabulous too. I just finished crocheting some angry birds for my kids. These look like fun projects.
aww i havent read any craft books, but i am hopefully getting some things for christmas to learn crochet.
After 50+ years of knitting and crocheting, I have shelves full of craft books divided between MN and FL so it is hard to pick a favorite. Probably whatever I am using at the moment.
Oooh I have that one on my Amazon wish list! My fave craft books of the moment are Vintage Crochet and the Colette Sewing Handbook because I want to learn to sew garments.
Awesome giveaway! My favorite craft book is the 1979 edition of Reader's Digest book of crafts. Mostly because my mom gave it to her mom, and when my grammy died the book was given to me. It has a very sweet inscription in the front that I treasure, but I also use it for (not kidding) crochet patterns. :)
My favourite craft book is for quilting, Cherri House's City Quilts. I love pretty well everything in that book, though I've yet to start working on any of the projects I'd like to make from it.
This book you're giving away looks completely adorable! I've done crochet in the past, but haven't done much recently. I always want to get back into it, but then start on projects too complicated for someone who needs to learn to read patterns again :D
http://cherryhousequilts.bigcartel.com/product/city-quilts
I don't really have a favorite one. But recently, I've been using Happy Hooker a lot! Lots of great gif ideas.
I would love to win this book,so generous of you,thanks for chance to win it.I don't have favorite book,only have one-Beyound the square.

I don't have many books I tend to use a lot of tutorial I find online. I do have one book of gorgeous quilts my mom gave me that I love.
My favorite craft book is the internet! But I really love my Happy Hooker.
I like Sew What Bags. But most of my projects come from online tutorials. :)
peachstateme(at)hotmail(d0t)com
I love 'Teach Yourself Visually Knitting'.
I don't have any craft books but I've been pining for One Yard Wonders. Thanks for the chance to win!
In trying to fix a crocheted tablecloth I inherited recently (made in 1920's), I've checked out of the library the book "Crochet Lace Innovations: 20 Dazzling Designs in Broomstick, Hairpin, Tunisian, and Exploded Lace" by Doris Chan. Well my head wants to explode. It's way over my head, but i still check it out for several weeks to pour over. I'm just amazed at lace patterns and the skill. I'm a newbie at crochet, but watch a lot of tutorials on youtube as well. For me it's easier to learn when I see the crochet hook actually moving in a video. Someday I'll learn enough to repair the tablecloth :)
If you're interested in spinning (fiber to make yarn), Respect the Spindle is an excellent read :)
Thank you!
What a great giveaway! As to my favorite craft book...that's a hard choice. So, I'll just pick one...I'll say Scrapsaver's stitchery. I've not sewn from that one for many years, but I loved it at the time.
It has to be Number Knitting. It's super old, very rare, and I refuse to part with it. I'd love to win this prize for my SIL. She's an amigurumi addict.
fave craft book is one yard wonders... so far!!
'The New Crewel'. It got me started in embroidery and I love it.
binkiege(at)gmail(dot)com
If you've made a couple of ami's already I'd say you're doing pretty good with crochet. They're not the simplest of projects.
I think my favorite book right now is Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi - it's knit but very fun.
I don't know how to crochet at all, but it would be worth learning to make those cute little guys!
My favorite craft book? For sewing: Sewing Clothes Kids Love. I could use that book over and over and over again (and have) without getting bored.
I recently bought the book Fresh Quilting and I love it!
One Yard WOnders is awesome
Yay for Amigurumi!
My favorite book is usually whichever one I've acquired most recently. Right now that's the Colette Sewing Handbook, which is awesome!
Hello! My favorite crafting book is Felted Zombies! Thank you for the chance to win!

I usually just browse the internet for my crafting inspiration. Don't really have a favorite book.
My newest acquisition is the Steampunk Softies: Scientifically-Minded Dolls from a Past That Never Was. So fun and great ideas.
I enjoy an old booklet/book I found on crocheting snowflakes: Crocheted Snowflakes by Mary Thomas. Especially fun at this time of year and into the early months of the new year! :)
Making Things: The Handbook for Creative Discovery by Ann Wiseman. It was recommended by another crafts person that I like. It is a great book.
Making Things: The Handbook for Creative Discovery
I haven't ventured into the ami world yet, but I'm definitely thinking about it! :)
My favorite craft book is probably I heart Patchwork. Although I just got Stash Happy Patchwork in the mail yesterday & I love it!
I made loads of mug cozies for gifts from the "Twenty to Make Knitted Mug Hugs" by Val Pierce.
I would love to switch to the Ami world for a while.
Oh that book looks so good - I have been really interested in trying to make some of those.
I am afraid I haven't been using books to craft - mainly ideas on the internet or my own ideas. Sorry!
lisejackson(at)rocketmail(dot)com
Martha Stewart's encyclopaedia of crafts.
I love One Yard Wonders! There's a second one coming out, too. Such a great variety of projects in it.
