Reviews

[Meredith Henning]

Talk about eye-candy!!! It's sweaters modeled after the nature terms from The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, simply divine!!! There's even things to knit for teddy bears and bunnies!!

[Danielle]

Strong call back to a Beatrix Potter/country vintage type of art design. The book is separted by the seasons and all the patterns have a flower or bird name. I like some of the patterns but mostly I bought this for the art. The sweater on the cover is really pretty!

[Leyla Shuri]

Traditional English knitwear with toys and many patterns for hats and cap both for children and adult. Worth having it.

[Cat {Pemberley and Beyond}]

There are such beautiful patterns in this book for both adults' and childrens' clothes. There are also patterns for matching jumpers and skirts for teddy bears and even a pattern to make a fluffy toy hedgehog.
