Book Reviews of YarnPlay at Home: Handknits for Colorful Living

Book Review: Great Designs for your Home!
Summary: 4 Stars

Yarnplay at home is a magnificent book! I love Shobhanas use of color as always. She has a great eye for blending together modern and appealing color palets that would go well with any home design. The patterns in this book seem pretty strait forward and fun to knit. In my opinion they are good for knitters at all levels beginner to advanced. There is also a good blend of patterns--stockinette, lace, plane knit, color play etc.

I LOVE this book and its one of the best at home designs knitting book I have come across.
