5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful!, February 24, 2008
This is a truly lovely book. It is eye candy for the knitter! My only complaint is that it is mainly knitting - just one or two of each other craft - very nice if that's what you're expecting. The description really doesn't indicate that. I will say that the knitting projects are for all different levels; however, you will need to practice a bit first if you are a beginner. The photography is outstanding, and the ribbon bookmark is a nice touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars A FABULOUS addition to your ballet library!!!, September 26, 2007
The Dancer's Book of Ballet Crafts is a fresh and lovely collection of craft patterns for all experience levels. It is beautifully written, directions are easy to follow, and dance lovers young and old will melt into every page! The photography is warm and welcoming and the art work and history of ballet informative. Christina Haskin has shared her love of ballet and crafts with us and dancers of all ages will find this a useful and heartwarming addition to their libraries. Don't pass this one by!!
