-- "Let's Knit Magazine"

"... still a lot of fun to be had joining the revival of the knotting craft popular back in the 1970s. The repetitive act of manipulating the twine is meditative, even addictive! After a bit of context, the book gets straight down to projects. There are the ubiquitous plant hangers, but also wall hangings, bags and dreamcatchers - featuring the inner rings from old embroidery hoops! Colour is added with dyeing techniques: uniform, dip dyeing for an ombre effect and combining colours are all explained. There's inspiration with in-depth interviews with the makers who are pushing the boundaries. Plus all the details you'd expect on knot formation and different twines."
