KNITTED BIRDS, £12.99

£ 12.99 buys you a 128 page 18.8x23.4cm paperback by Nicola Fijalkowska with instructions for knitting over 30 birds. Some can be produced relatively quickly, others are more complex. The book also contains information to help you sew up your birds, stuff them, and make legs that work – so your woolly creations can stand, perch, or grip your finger. If you knit a lot you can knit a Knot. I don’t know if Knot is in there but I couldn’t resist that. shopping.rspb. org.uk
