Instead of just including images from the book I thought it would be helpful to make a flip-through video. It&#8217;s at the top of this post if you haven&#8217;t watched it already.<\/p>\n<p>Wandering aimlessly through book stores and flipping though art, design and craft books that look interesting has got to be one of my favorite ways to shop. Unfortunately buying online takes away that opportunity to flip through a book and decide if it&#8217;s worth buying, so I&#8217;ve created a little video to give you that experience, albeit a virtual one.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Cat Lover&#8217;s Craft Book Review<\/h2>\n<p>As you can see in the video, the book is divided up into 3 main sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Projects<\/li>\n<li>Step-by-step photo tutorials<\/li>\n<li>Templates, supplies and assembly instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the front of the book are all the finished projects, photographed very attractively with most projects featured over a double page spread.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58696\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_4.jpg\" alt=\"Cat tail umbrella handle cover craft knitting \" width=\"690\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_4.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_4-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_4-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_4-330x236.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_4-644x460.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I like how they have created several variations on each project so you can see how they look in different colours\/fabrics. It really gives you great inspiration as to how you can adapt each cat craft project to suit your own style.<\/p>\n<p>As is usual for most Japanese craft books, every technique required to complete each project has step-by-step instructions, so in theory you should be able to make every project even if the skills used are new to you. Although, I do feel that basic sewing knowledge is assumed, as sewing techniques aren&#8217;t covered as thoroughly as knitting or embroidery.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-58695\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_3.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese craft book knitting instructions\" width=\"690\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_3.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_3-600x429.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_3-330x236.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cat-craft-book-review_3-644x460.jpg 644w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that knitting and crochet patterns are presented in chart form rather than written instructions with abbreviations.
