The "magical" part of the title is truth in advertising. These projects are simple and have magical results. The Moebius cast-on is strange at first, but it has a rhythm that makes it quick and easy. The directions for projects are clear and the projects turn out great. I've made several baskets, a sling bag, and a cat bed. ( )

I had not expected to like this book, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it very interesting and worth using. I did not like the first book she did about knitting 2 socks at once on circular needles. This book is far better. ( )

The designs are based on use of Möbius knitting, and the author sometimes obsesses on that technique where it doesn't really add much value or interest to the finished product. Still, the designs are innovative, and great fun. Whoever thought of knitting a cat bed, or a jester's hat?

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0970886985, Paperback)

Readers of the first book in this two-volume series (A Treasury of Magical Knitting) have fallen in love with the new world of Magical Knitting, a dimension so simple yet so captivating that one could spend a year exploring the huge variety of designs which Cat offers. Beginning with Cat's unique Moebius Cast-On, which is so easy that she usually demonstrates it in workshops behind her back while twirling slowly around on one foot, the reader first learns to knit a Moebius band, or scarf. This is the magic key that opens the way to all the other designs. The Second Treasury includes felted baskets (with no inside or outside!), felted fringed bowls, felted and unfelted sling bags, six different felted cat beds (one with paws and a tail!), and the trifold designs, including a knitter's bowl with pockets for tools and a place to keep working yarn away from playful felines. The Felted Needle Cozies, colorful, highly textured sheaths to hold straight needles, and the felted wallets are both excellent patterns for beginners and first-time felters. The book includes detailed information on felting, designing, and yarn substitutions.
