Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas… av Tanis Gray
There's not a pattern in here I wouldn't make; they're creative, surprising, stylish, and true to their source material. Each project is rated for difficulty and has a blurb about the making of the movie, a landmark in cinematic history. If you're a Tim Burton/TNBC/Disney fan and don't know how to knit, this book is a reason to learn.
This review is for the first HP Knitting Magic book, without More in the subtitle. The two books are completely different but LibraryThing, along with the rest of the world, is having trouble coping with the identically-titled works.
I have now had a chance to make one of the pattern from this book -- one of the most challenging patterns, Luna Lovegood's Spectrespecs Gloves (seen to the right of Hedwig on the front cover). It's rated at 5 lightning bolts, the highest level of difficulty (another nice thing about this book is the ratings). There were errata listed for this pattern, but Every. Single. Problem. was corrected by the publisher by the second printing. Impressive! The instructions are clear. The charts are easy to read. The book is, in short, well edited and the patterns dependable.

(1-1/2 star deducted because this is an officially licensed book and I don't support JK's ignorant and transphobic statements).
nonfiction - knitting (advanced techniques, for people who love to spend a lot of time on their projects and also want to show off their fandom for Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts)
I can knit okay but am not that crazy about knitting, so I wouldn't be interested in actually making any of these patterns (maybe some of them if they were sewn from fabric rather than knitted), but overall the designs look good -- actually bearing a close resemblance to the things they are supposed to resemble. it was fun to see the creations next to the pictures of what inspired them. Since I didn't make any of them I can't comment on the quality of the instructions.… (mer)
