“Prolific knitting author Sarah Keen returns with a new collection of knitted creatures, this time drawing from across the animal kingdom. Her latest book contains 30 patterns including individual animals and family groups, all made using DK yarn and suitable for a range of skill levels. Sarah makes clever use of colours, textures and shaping techniques to create realistic details and add personality to her animal characters. She has also chosen some unusual critters to recreate, such as the Lobster, Fire Ant and Red-kneed Tarantula. All of the designs would make excellent gifts, but my favourites are the cute Llama, with his colourful tasselled blanket; the Orangutan with her adorable baby; and the bright Tropical Tree Frog.”
