Product Review

A knit-and-read book: 13 farm-centric projects for the perfect homespun toys, with a bonus story.

A mother hen and her chicks (and their adorable knitted eggshells), three little piglets, and a black lamb full of good intentions are just some of the appealing projects in Spud and Chloë at the Farm, the latest innovative work from author and world-class knitter Susan B.Anderson. The projects in this book follow Spud, a feisty pet sheep, and Chloë, his perky owner, as they travel to a farm and meet the inhabitants of the barnyard, including a brown cow, some mice, a dog, and a barn cat. To continue the theme, and set the stage for loads of interactive play, the book also offers instructions for making an assortment of farm props, such as a picket fence, bales of hay, dainty baskets, and even a three-sided foldable barn.

Meanwhile, witty full-color cartoons (presented one per spread throughout the text of the book) tell the story of Spud and Chloë’s visit to the farm, which starts with an invitation from Spud’s cousin Little Lamb. Featuring charming full-color photographs of the knitted toys, this book is a must-have for knitters and their loved ones.

This book is wonderful. The patters are easy enough to follow and the toys are relatively small making it fairly quick and easy to knit them up! I think it is a must have!

Received this in the mail today. I am VERY impressed! I am a huge fan of Farmville on Facebook, so this is right up my alley! I admit to hesitating to acquire this one. I loved the Itty Bitty Toys book she did. I thought this may be more of a story book, so that part caused me hesitation. How nice to discover the story is in "comic book" style and you can read as you knit or the entire story in the back. I hope I don't reveal too much. And the kids love my knitted toy books too. So this is a welcome addition. I think the size of the book is perfect. I was glad it is hardback. My paperbacks become wrinkled so quickly. When I don't knit from them, I drool over them, IF it is well done. This is.
I can see a "Spud and Chloe rides again" with a male farmer, wardrobes, a horse, a duck, a mat/tote, a goose, llama, emu, watering trough... Hey I got some good ideas huh?
Also Thank you Amazon for offering this wonderful book at an affordable price. That was probably the best part...

My grandaughters Claire, 12 and Baeleigh 8, are so enjoying these knitted critters and "making" and preparing our barnyard. Claire is also learning to knit, while Baeleigh is just enjoying her new "critter friends." Thank you for such a fun and entertaining project book.
