Negative Positive
Title: Great for the photos at least
Review: The pictures in this book are wonderful and quite inspiring. I would LOVE to knit a nice toy farm set for visiting friend's kids. However, this book won't help you knit a set as wonderful as the one pictured. Many of the patterns are missing vital details, like the pattern for the ears or tail. Additionally, the patterns have been dumbed down from the versions in the pictures. Many of the photographed animals are knit using short rows, yet the patterns are for simplistic animals with log shapes for the body and legs just stitched together to look vaguely like an animal. Kids can make animals just like that by stitching together their icord from their knitting spools!Overall, I'm very dissatisfied with the patterns in this book but still in love with the photos. I intend on giving away the failed animals I made following the patterns in this book and then design my own critters to more closely match those in the photographs.
