Customer Reviews

This is a lovely book

This is a lovely book and has some great ideas and beautiful clothes in it. Personally I don't like the dolls. I do however have a doll pattern by Alan Dart for a pirate that I can adapt the clothes for. As I have a few of Jans other books I should have known that the dolls would be the way they are. Don't get me wrong I do really like this book and am glad that I bought it.

Not for novices

Jan Messent's work is, as always, visually stunning. I own several of her books but it has taken me a few years to not be too intimidated to try some of her projects. For advanced knitters, I would highly recommend any of her books, but it was this one that got me hooked.
