Customer Reviews

The heart of knitting

I really enjoyed this book! I have always thought that knitting was more about the process than the product. When you knit from the heart and give your knit item as a gift you are giving so much more than just the item at hand...you are giving love and a bit of yourself. My daughter loved the look of the angels and fairies in the book. I loved the Padma Jacket, the colorful pictures in the center of the book and also The Folklore of Aran Stitches in the back of the book(it is wonderful to know the greater meaning behind some of the stitches we use!)

Buddhist philosophy and knitting objectives

Twenty original knitting projects within are meant to convey a special meaning to the project, whether it be a good luck symbol, serenity, or imparting confidence, and noted knitwear designer Tara Jon Manning shows how to tap into this compassion blending Buddhist philosophy with knitting objectives in a unique blend of spiritual and knitter's guide. Knitters will appreciate the unusual blend which fosters both creative and soulful projects.

IT'S ALL GOOD!!
