The only hard part of knitting these angels is deciding which one to knit first; the only impossibility would be knitting just one. Whether used as holiday ornaments or for year-round decorating, the angels are equally charming when standing alone or hanging on a tree or a package. The series includes ten small angels and two large (tree-top-sized) angels. Each angel is unique, but the construction and lace patterns are simple variations on a theme so once you have knit one, the next will be even easier. And to add to their knitter-appeal, each small angel is shown as a two knit, one holds a skein, another winds a ball; there`s a weaving angel, a crocheting angel, a spinning angel, a quilting angel. . .you get the idea. Only the two stately tree-top angels are craft-less. Their arms spread gracefully as they look down on us, not at their work. Suggestions are included for props for readers, gardeners, golfers, cooks, musicians, and other non-fiber friends. The sequence of knitting–first arms, wings, bodice, skirt, then head–lets the knitter see how the lace pattern develops and then explore what can be done with it. This popular collection first appeared as a series in Knitter`s Magazine. Clearly illustrated techniques and step-by-step blocking and finishing directions guarantee first-time success.
