Synopses & Reviews
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. The growing popularity of meerkats over the last few years has elevated them to something approaching cult status, and now these playful creatures have been immortalized in yarn by Sue Stratford, who has created 20 fun meerkat characters to knit. All of the meerkats in this book are based on the same easy-to-follow pattern, which is then transformed into a beach babe, rock star, bride, gardener, golfer, skier—to name just a few—by simply using different colored yarns and dressing them in different knitted outfits.
