Customer Reviews

knit, crochet, sew, or craft a keepsake

There are knit legwarmers with intarsia hearts or stripes, crocheted bun cover, 2 knitted surplice wrap ballet sweaters, sleeveless knit sweaters, crocheted slippers and some scrapbook, sewing, and accessory projects. Only problem is the size ranges are small. I think this book is the answer to your wish for a collection of ballet projects. I liked this book very much. Thirty five projects is pretty generous for a craft book and this one can also be used as a journal/scrapbook. The projects are beginner/intermediate in terms of difficulty. There are projects for children and adults. My only complaint would be that the sizing options are very limited on the knitting and crochet patterns.

Beautiful!

This is a lovely book! The pictures are beautiful and there are many things in it I plan to make for my daughter who is a ballerina. I recommend it!

Outstanding Book of Crafts!

I recently begun knitting and I adore ballet. I was in the libraby when I found this book and I am already attached to it! I don't know how to use my sewing machine, but that's OK because I just like to look at the book. I recommend this book for any balletomane or knitter... or anyone!

Absolutely Beautiful!

This is a truly lovely book. It is eye candy for the knitter! My only complaint is that it is mainly knitting - just one or two of each other craft - very nice if that's what you're expecting. The description really doesn't indicate that. I will say that the knitting projects are for all different levels; however, you will need to practice a bit first if you are a beginner. The photography is outstanding, and the ribbon bookmark is a nice touch.

A FABULOUS addition to your ballet library!!!

The Dancer's Book of Ballet Crafts is a fresh and lovely collection of craft patterns for all experience levels. It is beautifully written, directions are easy to follow, and dance lovers young and old will melt into every page! The photography is warm and welcoming and the art work and history of ballet informative. Christina Haskin has shared her love of ballet and crafts with us and dancers of all ages will find this a useful and heartwarming addition to their libraries. Don't pass this one by!!
