Welcome—and thank you for ordering a Gripping kit! Here is all the information you need to knit your books and access your self-paced, guided knit-along!
The following video takes you through my process of creating these books, and it's filmed in a supportive style so that you have nice music and visuals, with a minimum of me talking to the camera. 😉
Watch it while making your Bookmarked knitted books to feel like we're knitting together!
(August 3: I'm finishing up the video and when it's ready, it will be here)

Book covers and flat-pack matchbox-style books are laser-cut exclusively for me, but you can cut a cover from any spare cardboard, and you can use a Diamond brand large matchbox for the sliding box.
The video, sources for materials, and other templates are part of your kit purchase and part of what I sell (i.e., it's my job, so please don't give my work away for free!).
