This is the source for some of the WWF fundraising sweater kits that long-time supporters may recall from the 1980s. Everything in it has that inimitable 1980s fit and the hairstyles are pretty remarkable. For a knitter who really likes intarsia and is willing to do some work adapting graphs to more up to date patterns, or who wants to dress up as a World Wildlife Fund fanatic circa 1980, this would be a very useful book.

Other books I've read didn;t leave me feeling as confident so I have passed trying crocheted beading till now.… (more)
