Reviews

Booklist, October Issue

Most knitters rely on a stash of leftover yarn to start and finish little projects; Ishiis assumption that makers can rely on odds and ends to make these miniature flowers is spot-on. Using size 2 and 3 needles and fingering wool, she offers 20 realistic little blooms, all ready to pin or sew on a hat or scarf, blouse, or sweater. Ishii explains materials and techniques like I-cords and French knots up front. Each flower from anemone and cosmos to tulip and violet is then showcased separately, with colour photographs and good instructions. Here's how to quickly create fields of dreams.

Amazon Customer Review

This is a very well presented little book and a perfect addition to a craft library. Its lovely to find a book on knitted flowers as the vast majority are crochet. With lots of illustrations on every page and clear easy written patterns, you really cant go far wrong. Highly recommended if flower making is your thing.
