Overview

Confirming the old adage that big things come in small packages, the compact volumes of this ongoing series offer crafters an easy outlet for their passions—be they for fiber arts, sugarcraft, polymer clay, glasswork, papercraft, or jewelry. Emphasizing the simple fun of crafts, each concise resource includes 20 fast-to-finish, easy-to-do projects that always focus on a single subject or theme.

 

Highlighting the small charms of the holidays, the 20 step-by-step Christmas projects collected here will add to the warmth of the season. With each project requiring just small scraps of yarn, knitters will enjoy applying their skills to such novelty projects as miniature Christmas stockings, holly leaves, small reindeer, a snowman, an egg cozy, knitted gingerbread cookies, and a wee Christmas sweater. Each finished project is accompanied by a single detailed photograph, allowing for an easy visual reference.

Editorials

Library Journal

Like its companion volume, Mini Christmas Crochet, this book has a wide range of patterns to appeal to many design sensibilities. Stratford, who owns a knitting store in London, writes for the advanced beginner to intermediate knitter, but the techniques section is clear and helpful to all levels of knitters. One drawback: the book is oriented to the British market, and there is no explanation, e.g., of "4 ply" (which U.S. knitters know as fingering-/sport-weight or sock yarn). The patterns are all appropriate to turn into ornaments, though few have that designation. Recommended with Mini Christmas Crochet for those seeking Christmas-specific projects.
