This book cover really gives you a fantastic

idea of what is held inside.

If you love birds and you love knitting

then you will thoroughly love this book!

There are over 30 feathered friends held within.

I am AMAZED how accurate this birds look.

Each one has it's own individual personality.

The book starts with all the techniques 

you will use throughout the book.

As well as clear instructions there

are also clear photo's so you can easily

understand what you need to do.

I love the different materials she uses

with the knitting to create them.

Glass pebbles are used to add weight to some

of the birds to make them stable.

Beads, wire, felt & chenille are used

to get the right look.

 

All of the birds are created by working them flat

on two needles and them shaping them as you

sew them together.

 

I love the little notes at the start of each

pattern.

They share something of Nicky's personality.

This is an amazing book and I love the little

things included with the birds like the fish for

the Osprey and the nest and eggs.

I also love the fact that you get patterns

with some for the adults and the fledglings.

The cygnet's are to die for.

The different birds that are included in the book are;

Mallards - Adult Male, Adult Female & Duckling

Song Thrush

Blue Tit

Canada Goose

Blackbirds - Adult & Fledgling

Mute Swans - Adult & Cygnet

Barn Owl - Adult & Owlet

Wouldn't it be fantastic to have

them all over your house and to get

everyone to go bird watching and spotting.

Brilliant book with brilliant designs.
