Anderson, Susan B.

Topsy-turvy inside-out / Susan B. Anderson ; photographs by Liz Banfield. - pages cm

Susan B. Anderso's fifth book--her most enchanting yet--turns the spotlight on reversibles : knitted projects that are two toys in one. This collection of a dozen delightful toys features a dog in a doghouse, a chrysalis with a fluttery surprise inside, a tiny hidden fairy, a vintage toy with a fabled theme to boot, pigs in a blanket, and much more.
The adorable photographic sequences and the playful and energetic line drawings show how each finished reversible can be turned inside out to reveal its companion toy. Projects are arranged in order from simplest (fine for a beginner) to the most challenging. Finally, the book features tutorials from the author (a great knitting teacher), explaining special techniques: how to apply any applique, how to do the stem stitch, how to embroider eyes on the Bunny and Lamb, and 14 more. It all adds up to the best knitting book of the season.
