As summer (by rights) should be upon us now, this is a very timely book to be making something to create a little bit more sunshine, or remind us what it's like if it is lacking in the weather. These flowers are either knitted, crocheted or felted, and there is a colourful directory at the beginning to show you what choice there is. In addition to a great array of sunflowers, there are other 'sunny' flowers in a variety of colours, as well as some wildlife (butterflies, bees and ladybirds included) and they make for a bright and jolly book. About 30 designs are knitted and 24 are crocheted, with notes about felting particular flowers given in the instructions (with photos so you can see how they look). The projects vary in difficulty and would be easily adapted to embellish a design, needle-felt into a piece of work, or use in any of the 15 projects provided. It is bright and colourful and for those drizzly summer days (hopefully not too many), just looking will give you a lift.
