Description

"A knitter spends time, money, and energy transforming a skein into a sweater from a yarn company pattern book. Make something at home that looks like it came from the store. A lady is trapped, tied up, gagged, blind-folded, and spanked. Exaggerated expressions of happiness and fear and playfulness dart across the faces for the photographer's lens ... The myth is that DIY is about creating power, that Do-it-Yourself puts the maker in charge. Sweaters keep us warm and making them ourselves keeps us busy, looking down, silent." -- page 1.
