This is such a charming knitting book but there's not one adult-size cardigan or shawl inside! This book shows you how to knit up a mini garden landscape with instructions on creating fields, walls, plants, houses, and even miniature figures to populate this world. There's a little bit on embroidery, too. There are lots of photos, graphs, and illustrations to aid in construction. This is a wonderful book for the knitting and gardening enthusiast, especially someone who has young kids in their life.

I plan to start knitting a garden someday and this book will be a good start.
