Review:

Issue 61 An ideal book for beginners with step-by-step photography and easy to follow instructions aimed at young teenagers, but sadly no boys are featured here! This is odd since the author has dedicated the book to her two sons. Items to make include a pin cushion, a bag, a belt, cushions and decorative items such as hearts. Nothing looks too daunting, there are good 'Top Tips' throughout and the layout is colourful, attractive and inviting. * Fabrications * Sept 09 It's simple, lots of fun, and great to share with youngsters. Nancy Nicholson teaches the basics and shows, in step-by-step sequences, how to create beautiful cushions, belts, birds and bags. The creative projects are designed with the beginner in mind and the techniques and stages are clearly explained. The book is full of step-by-step photographs, easy to follow instructions, simple techniques and lots of creative ideas. * Machine Knitting Monthly *
