Each technique is broken down by chapter and has a list of materials plus step-by-step instructions with plenty of pictures to guide. Once kids have the basics, they can try fun crafts like a crocheted hacky sack or a knitted Tom hat with a pom-pom. Grab some yarn, and craft away!" -- <i>FamilyFun</i> <p/> "Using mostly inexpensive materials and recyclables, this colorful and well-formatted craft book introduces the basic skills of sewing, embroidery, felting, knitting, crocheting, and weaving in a peppy conversational style. Although these techniques have been around for ages, Blum and Newman utilize them in fresh ways. Projects progress from easy to difficult; examples include a beanbag hand warmer, a cord-slung backpack, and a phone sweater. Excellent close-up photos of kids and tweens, girls and boys, augment the well-written directions... VERDICT A worthy choice for libraries looking to update their crafting materials for young people. This is also a good book for older teens in need of a simplified approach." -- <i>School Library Journal</i> <p/> "Accessible skill-building over a range of needle-crafts -- and the delight with which the authors encourage readers to upcycle, improvise, and break the rules is utterly contagious." -- Margaret Bloom, author of <i>Making Peg Dolls and More</i> "An endlessly joyful and captivating crafty adventure!
