"Angharad’s book is not only a comprehensive “how to” manual to inspire all knitters to tackle an artefact that is sometimes deemed difficult but also a splendidly colourful guide to an “extremely niche tactile activity”" - Slipknot, the Knitting and Crochet Guild's quarterly journal

"The history and knitting are mixed together throughout the book so that dipping in and out provides something fresh each time. There are plenty of illustrations throughout." - The Journal of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers
