Reviews

Oh Sachiyo Ishii what a fantastic book you have compiled... instructions are so easy to follow.
Only very small amounts of wool are needed so a great way to use up all those scraps of wool.
If you have not got eyes for the toys it is so easy to sew or crochet them.
The toys are so cute and not all for children. They would look great as an accessory to hang on a bag.

Great for using all those left over balls and bits of wool you didn't know what to do with, easy to follow instructions quick to make and the projects just the right size for little hands.
