“Knitting with wire is an adventure”, says the author who has plunged knitters into the deep end and dropped them into a fascinating new world of textile sport.

Gone are the boring, scratchy projects of the past. Here are rosebuds for your hair, petal corsages, fabulous necklaces dripping with gemstones, tubular bracelets encasing pearls, embellished bangles, lacy necklaces, an amazing show-stopping spiral scarf and a hot-pink glamour bag adorned with shiny sequins.

Wire doesn’t stretch, stitches don’t drop, and it never looks neat and tidy — but that is the beauty of it. It bends to any shape, can be embellished with other fine yarns, and the wire used is so fine that knitting with it really isn’t painful.

With excellent instructions and illustrations, this book is not only creative it is also great fun.
