Review “This book caught my eye because I have always liked buttons and button closures, the more unusual, the better. Here is a step-by-step "knotinary" (my word) to help you create unique buttons and adornments for Asian knits, Fair Isle sweaters, hats, and more.” ― Paula Moliver, Hartford Knitting Examiner About the Author Laura Williams first discovered the joys of tying knots as a girl scout, and quickly progressed to creating friendship bracelets to wear and share. The discovery of Chinese and other decorative knots inspired the opening of her online shop--northerndawn on Etsy.com. Her beautiful pieces of beaded and knotted jewelry are all handmade using the expert skills shared in her book 75 Chinese, Celtic, and Ornamental Knots.
