Review:

Issue 61, Summer 05 This book...is an exciting prospect for the novice knitter, modern and innovative in the presentation of gloves, scarves and bags, all with different and interesting kinds of trim, including bobbles and beads. A lovely gift for a friend. * WCE * No. 107, March 05 Although it says for the novice knitter, this lovely book contains thirty projects that even an advanced knitter would love to make. There are a good number of bags, hats, scarves, mittens and a poncho to keep the reader busy. The book begins by discussing materials, tools and techniques, goes on to show us how to knit what follows and then grades the projects to enable the novice to begin with easy ones and then progress. Well illustrated with clear instructions. * SlipKnot *
