Fashionable Projects for the New Knitter

By Alison Barlow

Book Overview

Who says a knitting project has to be complicated to look fashionable? Simple can be stylish, too--and anyone who can do a basic "knit and purl" can make these chic items with no trouble at all. The trick: using quality yarns in beautiful colors and textures. The results will look marvelous...and no one need know that your designer scarf used an easy loose stitch and took just a few hours to create! And there's lots to choose from: [34] projects that include hats, bags, blankets, shawls, sweaters, and accessories. The attractive photos show each one in different yarns and colors, and excellent, easy-to-follow instructions teach how to knit on circular needles, make great felted items, and change colors as you work.

A nice book to get started with

The instructions are very clear and there aren't any outlandish items that you wouldn't want to wear. The projects are small enough that you don't feel overwhelmed or die of boredom knitting the items. Granted there are more hats in here than I can imagine wearing in a winter, but they can always be donated to homeless shelters and such. You learn, feel a sense of accomplishment, and can donate the finished product to the needy. Not bad for a book.

Great , Fun, Easy Projects.
