This book is a wonderful resource for knitters who care.-Knit Today Eco-friendly yarns have become more common in recent years. In 'Knitting Green' Ann Budd encourages eco-conscious readers to decide how far they want to 'go green' and not to feel guilty if they haven't pursued a completely organic or recycled lifestyle.

The projects, which range from classic wraps to an ingenious bike shopping bag, have all been thoughtfully designed, making this an essential guide to eco-knitting for anyone concerned about our planet's future.-Simply Knitting Harmonious, muted colours, lots of carefully-composed photographs and a pleasingly textured paper combine 22 patterns from well-known designers, with nine essays on issues such as the meaning of 'organic' in the context of yarn.-SlipKnot Harmonious, muted colours, lots of carefully composed photographs and a pleasingly textured paper combine 22 patterns from well-known designers with nine essays on issues such as the meaning of 'organic' in the context of yarn.-SlipKnot
