Robin Hansen can justifiably claim to be the person who started the groundswell of interest in roots knitting patterns for mittens. When Fox & Geese & Fences: A Collection of Traditional Maine Mittens was published a generation ago, it was an instant success, and nary a knitter above the age of thirty has not heard of it. It was followed by a second, equally inspiring collection: Flying Geese & Partridge Feet: More Mittens from Up North & Down East. Favorite Mittens is a compilation of some of the most popular traditional designs from Robin's groundbreaking first two books, presenting these tried-and-true patterns in a new format, with step-by-step directions revised and updated for ease of knitting, thanks to the helpful feedback Robin has gotten from the knitters who flock to her workshops all around the country.

Welcome to the cosy village of Woolly Bush, set deep in the heart of the English countryside.

Nudinits: Tickled Pink is an acclaimed stop-motion animation film currently showing on YouTube and at international film festivals, and has been wowing viewers around the world. Every puppet, set and prop in the film has been knitted by hand and it's full of cheeky English humour in the grand old Carry On film tradition. So, here it is: the book of the film!

But it's not just a humour book: included are 20 exclusive knitting patterns so you can knit Bernard and Barbara, upstanding citizens of Woolly Bush, and a selection of their accessories and accoutrements including assorted amusing vegetables, interestingly shaped buns and Fufu the cat.
