I have seen this cookbook on various blogs and admired and researched it online for quite sometime.

The I-cord will replace some of the braoken leather sections and serve as a trial for future jewellery pieces.
i've never seen a necklace knitted, so pretty. and i love this book and her first, super natural cooking.
