How to Win Friends & Influence People
By Dale Carnegie
I should have read this book ten years ago. It's amazing, a life changer. You read it and think "of course, that's obvious, why haven't I been doing it all this time?" The principles apply to everyday life just as well as they do to business. I can't recommend it enough. If you're one of these people, including myself, who have bemoaned our lack of community and friendship in real life, get it from the library (or buy it) and read it.
Hurrah, you don't have to knit in order to felt! If you enjoy crafting with recycled wool knitted items, you'll love this new book. The projects are simple and inspiring, colorful and joyful. It transcends ages, inspiring me at 38 and my son at 7. This would be an inexpensive hobby with some reasonable profit potential. Start-up costs are low to none. You need scissors, needle, threads, thimble and ratty old wool sweaters to recycle into wool felt (by washer.)
This is a great book, oriented more toward the skilled artisan. There are definitely projects suitable to all crafting levels, but you need to be a detail oriented focused worker to get through them. You also need specialized equipment, so the costs to start would be higher. I love the book and processes. The projects themselves are actually a bit too unrefined for me, but the processes are so well explained that I should be able to apply them to my own ideas. |
