Fiona Goble, author of Knit Your Own Royal Wedding, has now turned her attention to all creatures great and small. As well as a beautifully illustrated retelling of the bible story, the book also contains patterns for Noah, his wife and 15 pairs of animals, from tiny mice to majestic giraffes. Once you've made them all, set them out in front of the fold-out ark template included. Order from Telegraph Bookshop, 0844 873 0316 www.books.telegraph.co.uk --Let's Knit November 2011
