Irresistible!
"Here, for the first time, is a collection of my designs for Simply Knitting gathered together in one book."
Simply Knitting magazine recently published a bookazine, Irresistible Gifts to Knit, which features twelve of Alan's most popular designs. It's a very glossy publication and, as with everything from the Simply Knitting team, superbly produced. The projects range from simple makes to more complicated ones for the experienced knitter, and this bookazine would make a perfect gift for those who love knitting toys!
The patterns featured are:
- Farmyard Frolics (parts 1 & 2)
- Easter Eggs (mother hen & chicks)
- Little Blossom (baby elephant)
- Bunny Babes & Beach Boys (parts 1 & 2)
- Barnacle Bill (pirate)
- Little Lorelei (mermaid)
- Noah's Ark
- Jack O'Lantern
- Ready for Bed (hibernating hedgehog)
- Yuletide Gnomes
- Christmas Wishes (nativity collection)
- Santa Lucia.
There is also an interview with Alan, together with lots of tips and photographic step-by-step illustrations to help you knit, make up, and finish your toy expertly.
The publishers have now sold out of this bookazine and have no plans to reprint, so it is no longer available to order online, although you may still be able to find a copy at a bookshop or yarn store near you. The featured patterns will now be gradually added to this website as pdf downloads over the next few months.
