This new edition is a delight to see, with miniature marvels that
will help you create your own mini woolly world. The book begins
with a directory of designs, under themes such as Hedgerow Flowers,
Leaf Fall, Rock Pool and Woodland Walk. The instructions are then
split into knit and crochet, with crochet patterns including
beautiful butterflies, a sequinned goldfish, vibrant foxglove and
more. Finally a set of projects show off designs in different
settings, such as jumbo-sized coral necklace and autumn pins.
*Inside Crochet*
Use these miniature creepy crawlies, butterflies and metallic
dragonflies to decorate clothes and gift wrap, cards and
accessories, to give as gifts or collect as display pieces. The
book also includes leaves, flowers, shells and other elements from
the natural world.
*Machine Knitting Monthly*
I am not a beginner but I am not an expert knitter as I have skills
still to learn. This book will teach me the skills on small
projects that finish quickly and builds confidence. It has good
images and layout with a project section at the back plus a
flip-out abbreviations section so you don't have to refer back to
the abbreviations page while you are working.
*Amazon*
I enjoyed the book, the projects are well laid out and the
explanations are clear.
