Superb (1/1 people found this helpful)
This book will have you knotting for weeks!
The projects are lovely with impressive results. I hadn't made jewellery for years and fancied trying something new. The explanations, diagrams and photos are high quality and as a result easy to follow. I recommend this book to anyone with similar interests. (I don't normally write reviews but felt compelled to do so about this book and the Celtic knots in the same series).

Brilliant!! (8/8 people found this helpful)
If I could, I would have given this book 10 stars! The knots are wonderfully detailed, and with pictures to guide you, all that is then needed is a little practice. If you want to start knotting, this should be your first book. I make a lot of jewellery, and this book is my inspiration.

Being a keen beader, I thought I'd like to try something a bit different and this book on chinese knotted jewellry captured my imagination from the first time I opened it. Initially, not using wires and threads seemed a bit daunting, but by practising on a spare piece of cord several of the knots shown before I attempted any of the wonderfully detailed pieces, gave me the confidence to go out and buy the cord, beads and other bits and just have a go and see what I could make. Already I'm itching to try more than just the basic knots, but experience has taught me that I'll give up on a new craft If I don't fully understand the basics. This book gives you all the basics and more, progressively moving onto more complex knots and suggesting ways of using them in more adventurous pieces. To be recommended to beginners and the more experienced alike.
