If I was more talented, who wouldn't want their own mini knit version of Victoria Beckham to carry around? Or the Beatles? Or James Bond? Personally I like the idea of a mini Margaret Thatcher or Boris Johnson that I could use as a voodoo doll. It's says a lot about my current abilities when a mini Cornish Pasty is probably more in line with my knitting talents.

I'm knitting Shakespeare! The instructions are not bad but I'd like more detail and tips. Making up is fiddly and stuffing and dressing the doll are tricky. Nevertheless, the Bard is turning out really cool!

Not been much of a knitter before but this book is easy to follow for the experienced and the amateur. My girls love playing with the creations I have made using this book.
