Kelley Deal has two lives: as the lead guitarist of the band The Breeders, she spends late nights in the recording studio, long hours on the tour bus and evenings basking in bright stage lights. But she also has a passion for knitting - especially one-of-a-kind bags as unique as her music. Tag along with Kelley as she gives you a privileged backstage pass to her rock-n-roll world and her knitted bag obsession.Knitters of all skill levels will enjoy the invitation, because they'll get to explore Kelley's stylish choices of fibers and gear (needles, stitch holders) and get the lowdown on bag-specific features, including frames, straps and linings. Kelley walks them through all the basics on felting, blocking, joining seams, simple crochet and embroidery embellishments, and twenty fabulous projects, each with its own 'remix' variation. Since they are all photographed in the studio, surrounded by instruments and equipment, you'll feel as if you're right there, one of the band. Kelley's personal anecdotes and rock-star stories add to the fun.Kelley Deal, lead guitarist in The Breeders, shows you how to knit 20 radically cool and useful bags - many felted, some not. Each project includes remix options that can take the bag's style in unique directions. Along the way she shares snapshots and stories about her rock-band life. This book includes an interview with Kelley's equally famous twin, Kim Deal of Pixies fame, about using an I-cord maker.
