DIY DIY and How-to

Instructional zines that show or tell how to make or do something, including knitting and other crafts. Some how-to zines can fit in other categories, though, such as zines about bicycle repair, which can go under BIC Bicycles, or zines about gardening, which can go under FOO Food, Farming, and Gardening.

Yarnchix #6: Magic Three

"Welcome to the No6 issue pages of the yarnchix zine. I am very excited to finally print the summr zine with plenty of ideas, thoughts, practice, projects, story, photos, many words. As always this would not be complete without the crew of chickens illustrated by Caro and plenty of mistakes fixed and juggling of pages. There is a lot of my writing this time, summer and hope... joined by my words in an interview and just daisy a special hen who was dreamt up and written up by Abbey, my friend from Wollwind. I hope you enjoy the collection of thought, imaginations, ideas and writing for yarny chicks with more then knitting on their minds. "

Cover for Storied Stitches #7
"Knitting has the capacity to be accessible, creative, and independent; together we are creating new literature that highlights exactly that. Storied Stitches is a people-powered, noncommercial, DIY publication where we celebrate our creations. This zine is about us, the people who knit, united through our self-expressions and our creativity." [Storied Stitches Manifesto, Storied Stitches #1]
