review 1: I've been having knitter's block for awhile now. I am tired of hats and scarves (the two things I can competently create). This book has completely brought me out of it. And not only has it brought me out of it, it has actually forced me to learn NEW knitting skills! I can now knit with the magic loop! And I'm going to attempt to actually stuff my knitting with stuffing and use a mattress stitch! Now, I haven't technically read this book cover to cover, but I have used it in the way it was meant to be used. It is an excellent reference/instructional book -- there's a glossary of stitch abbreviations, there's photographic explanations of EVERY technique that needs to be used -- oh, and there's the patterns.They are so bizarre and so cute, I want to make all of them. ... more And give them to people. And knit myself a tiny family of odd Japanese-looking creatures (slippers with teeth? Pigs with wigs? Tiny knit couches?). I WANT THEM ALL!! For now I'll start with the squirrel on wheels. Yes, I'm knitting a squirrel. With wheels instead of legs. It's freaking awesome.Part of me wants to book-talk this to all ages for the summer reading program. Even though it's an adult book, it is adorable and visually pleasing enough that I think kids will at least like to LOOK at it, even if they can't accomplish the actual knitting. Hm.
review 2: So freaking cute. The only thing that stopped me from giving it the fifth star was that I found some of the instructions a little difficult to follow, particularly with regard to the mattress stitch, which I clearly suck at. I'm a beginner, and though the instructions were fairly simple, I still had a few questions. I need a book that gives instructions as if the author is talking to a small child. Then again, that might mean it's me and not the book. less
