Head-to-Toe Winter Knits

Monica Russel is a qualified teacher and art therapist, and has worked in schools, further education and mental health services. In 2009, she set up a knitting and cake-stand making business using her creative skills.

Since setting up her craft business, she has had patterns featured in knitting magazines and books. Her work can be seen at theknitknacks.co.uk

This book has just arrived and I was surprised by how many projects were included. I have already have her book of wrist warmers that are included but with so many hats, scarfs, headbands and cute boot cuffs, you will be spoilt for choice. The projects use a variety of different yarn weights, colours and the instructions are easy to follow so you can make the items to suit you. Excellent photography and a lovely solid book.
