Product Description
Review
One glance at the cover of this book and you ll see it s filled with a menagerie of mini creatures, as well as plants, fruits and vegetables. You can knit and crochet them to give as gifts, or to use as embellishments on other woolly projects. There s a handy directory at the start of the book, where you can browse the projects and find out where to locate the patterns themselves. Our favourites are the blue tit, snail, spider (perhaps a little too lifelike for some) and the peacock butterfly. At the back are a few ideas for presenting your projects, such as brightening up an old tweed jacket with some autumn leaves and mushrooms. --Knit Today
Product Description
Use them to decorate your clothes and accessories, to give as gifts - or to decorate your gift wrap and greetings cards - and to collect as a creative display piece. These entrancing little beasts are thoughtfully displayed in a directory at the front of the book. Choose from winged insects and flying fancies, hanging horrors, cute ladybugs and perfect honeybees, tropical terrors and backyard favourites. Each critter is cross-referenced to a complete pattern and/or chart at the back of the book, with information on stuffing, finishing and yarn requirements: plus helpful hints on creating iridescence and translucent wings. You'll also find a mixture of fun and fabulous ideas for using the creatures in a range of styles and settings: children's designs, quirky homewares, and elegant fashion accessories.

Format:Paperback
such a beautiful and inspiring and well put together book. super bits to make, i am going to make some to embelllish things like teacosies, cushions and hats but also some as little brooches. although only thing is, the title, 'birds...' just be mindful there are only two. a bluetit and a turtle dove, no more birds. so if you're looking for plenty of those you can forget it. the other great thing is, the yarns are generic so you can easily use whichever brand you wish rather than them stating a specific.
The instructions are comprehensive and very reliable. I'm extremely pleased with this book and the one before it that is flowers. Both are exquisite and worth every penny!

Being a long time knitter and new-to crochet, I was attracted to this publication. I have made many of the items, knit and crochet, and was very pleased with the end result. Being new to crochet I had some difficulty with the instructions but with a bit of practice and patience I completed some very pleasing items. (I have used these to embellish my patchwork) I thoroughly recommend this book for all levels.

There are loads of great ideas in this book. It starts with telling you the sort of needles and hooks to use, followed by an illustrated directory of all the things you can make, then how to make each item. It also has directions on how to knit and crochet.
Even someone who has never picked up a needle or hook could make these. I have been knitting for a couple of months and have yet to master crochet, but with the help of this book and its simple and small designs I will soon know how!
I can't wait to get started and add these to something special - maybe make them into some small gifts for friends and family.....
