That is pretty cool by itself, but super creative Isabelle has also gotten involved with Save The Children on a program called Caps For Good to knit caps for newborns in developing countries.  This simple, handmade gift not only keeps babies warm, it saves lives. Isabelle and Save The Children have created hundreds of these baby caps this year to help reduce the nearly 4 million newborn deaths that occur annually in the developing world. We caught up with Isabelle to talk about how she started knitting, how she got started helping Save The Children, what ]]></description>

You might also remember Amy from her last critically-acclaimed book, "I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence."

We had the pleasure of chatting with Amy Sedaris about her and co-author Paul Dinello's latest book, “Simple Times, Crafts For Poor People” which will debut #8 on the New York Times best seller list in the “How To” category Nov. 21st. It is available now at most bookstores.
