Reviews

Well if you are the same as me you would of heard of finger knitting but I hadn't heard of finger weaving. This book soon changes that. The book takes you through each of the steps of finger weaving and take you on a journey to create different designs. With just a small amount of tools you can make an amazing array of designs; Yarn, Ruler, String, Water Bottle, Scissors, Needle. The designs are similar to finger knitting designs as they use beautiful bulky yarn. This means that in a short space of time you have a beautiful project. Each of the pages are beautifully put together. They seem to just have a certain amount of information on each page so it's clear and easy to follow. There aren't any specific yarns used but just the colour & weight of the yarn to make the design. I think this book would make a good present that likes trying new things. It's versatile and easy to follow meaning in a very short period of time you can make the projects in the book. Once you understand the technique you can also use your knowledge and create your own design. If you want to try something new that you don't have a huge outlay on they you'll really want to try this book.
