I await your hippie wisdom.

At least, that's what we called it in my town in the 70s! So, after 30 years of wishing someone had taught it to me, I'm finally embarking. I found a seller on eBay who will sell you any colors in any length, so bought a 200-yard lot of 75 colors. Now I need a book. I'm looking for one that shows how to make keychains, necklaces, bracelets, lanyards, etc...but all the books on eBay are either unrated, have crappy ratings, or are mere 20-30 page pamphlets. Anybody know of a good book? Klutz is usually good with this kind of stuff, but their book "Boondoggle" appears to be their worst ever. And I don't want one for "Scoubidou," which is also plastic lacing, but is round, not flat. Any suggestions? I need busywork for four days of sitting in the sun, drinking in the tunes (and beer) at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in a couple weeks. -Late Bloomer ;) Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:10:20 GMT http://HippieHandcrafters.tribe.net/thread/6b5e3503-f97e-4c3d-933f-c3250c18567d#bba93b80-1e70-4a3e-8fc9-2c60e51be1c4 Jeau ۞ 2008-06-06T20:10:20Z
