Reviews

This book caught my eye because I have always liked buttons and button closures, the more unusual, the better. Here is a step-by-step knotinary (my word) to help you create unique buttons and adornments for Asian knits, Fair Isle sweaters, hats, and more. ---Paula Moliver, Hartford Knitting Examiner
