For the first time in her distinguished career, knitwear and crochet designer Erika Knight has moved into an entirely new area of craft. In Beads & Buttons, she applies her unique flair for colour, texture and design to beading, presenting a collection of 25 must-have jewellery projects.The book is divided into three themes, Natural, Playful and Vintage. Using driftwood, pebbles and shells, hemp twine or leather thonging, the Naturals projects reflect a modern mood within accessories for relaxed, easy-wear simplicity from a simple stone pendant on brightly coloured suede to a beaded cuff bracelet on wire and a pearl and wooden bead cluster necklace. Playful combines vibrant colour with unusual textures, such as crochet and felt, to create bold statement pieces including yarn covered beads with pompons and glass beads encapsulated in knitting. Finally, the Vintage designs epitomise fashion's ongoing love for antique glass, silver and mother-of-pearl to create treasured heirlooms such as a silver and bead necklace on ribbon and a crochet ribbon bracelet with bead and button charms.

Heaven knows, the Scotsman born Donovan Leitch was ripe for ridicule, even when he was hitting the charts with regularity. He was the ultimate flower child, and his airier pronouncements made cynics want to tighten up those love beads around his neck. Listening to Troubadour, however, it's striking how versatile, melodic, and agreeable most of his material sounds decades after "Mellow Yellow" has faded into a jaundiced yellow. Clearly under the sway of Bob Dylan early on in his career, Donovan nevertheless was capable of directing his reverence into something as enchanting as "Catch the Wind." Amping up as the '60s progressed, he assembled a series of psychedelic-pop classics, including "Season of the Witch," the "Hey Jude"-like sing-along "Atlantis," and the uncharacteristically driving "Hurdy Gurdy Man" (the latter features three-quarters of what was to become Led Zeppelin providing stellar support). This two-disc anthology may be more Donovan than some desire, but the booklet, seven previously unreleased tracks, and expansive perspective it provides makes it a more-than-worthy overview for those who take their paisley folk-rock with a beatific smile. --Steven Stolder
