Topsy-Turvy Inside-Out Knit Toys:
Magical Two-in-One Reversible Projects

Squeee! I want to make all of these right now, right now, RIGHT NOW!! Unfortunately, I don't think I'm anywhere near ready for these projects, but maybe I will be soon if I learn a little bit more about knitting basics. The projects are so adorable it'll be worth doing a little work to learn how to make them, and the instructions in this book seem pretty accessible. It's not just a book of patterns and abbreviations with no explanations. There are step-by-step instructions and a lot of photos and diagrams of work in progress. So I think I'll be able to figure it out.
And I hope I do because the toys in the book are ah-MAAAAZING! They are all two toys in one (like the title suggests). There's a doghouse that you flip over and it turns into a dog. There's a crocodile that folds into its own egg. There's a bunny that you turn inside out and it becomes a lamb. It's hard to describe.
Here, just hit the jump to watch a video of the reversible toys in action:
You can also view the video on YouTube or on the author's blog. So cool!
In the meantime, here's a picture of a sweater/dress I made (mostly by accident) for my daughter's Lambie. It's sort of reversible, in that if she wears it backwards it looks like a vest/coat. Progress!
