As if we needed another reason to think The Breeders were the coolest band in the world. Now Kelley Deal, twin of Kim, is branching out into the literary world - and she's doing it with a book about knitting.

Bags That Rock: Knitting On The Road With Kelley Deal is due in October, via US publishers Lark. Here's the blurb:

"Tag along with Kelley Deal as she gives you a privileged backstage pass to her cool rock-n-roll world and her knitted bag obsession. Knitters of all skill levels will get to explore Kelley’s stylish choices of fibers and gear and get the lowdown on bag-specific features. Get all the basics on felting, embroidery embellishments, and 20 fabulous projects, each with its own “remix” variation.

I'm not, and never plan to be, a knitter, but this could be the thing that tempts me...
