Book Reviews of Yummy Yarns: Learn to Knit in 20+ Easy Projects Featuring Fun Novelty Yarns
Book Review: Good Value Basic Patterns
Summary: 4 Stars
There are several cute basic patterns for scarves and simple garments in this book. They can all be made with other yarns than the ones called for if they are hard to find. Some of the novelty yarns are in the sale bins now, and they can be used in combination with any yarn that you have. The only thing you have to do is get the gauge specified in the pattern. Do a gauge swatch, doesn't every knitting book tell you that?
Summary of Yummy Yarns: Learn to Knit in 20+ Easy Projects Featuring Fun Novelty Yarns
Extravagant and funky, novelty yarns such as eyelash, fuzz, flash, fur, ribbon, metallic and other unique combinations and lengths of fibres are a fabulous way to add movement, texture, and dimension to any knitting project. They are fun, hip, and so very forgiving in disguising small errors that they are a favourite among novice knitters who turn their first creations into trendy and fabulous pieces! Yummy Yarns teaches the basics of knitting with 20 easy projects that utilize novelty yarn, in place of your more common yarns. This book demystifies the terminology and makes choosing yarn a more fun process. Yummy Yarns also includes an overview of the many types of novelty yearns from basic composition to the advantages and disadvantages of a particular type of yarn. Learn to make a faux fur boa scarf, a neck scarf, a sweater pocket, button edging, a party purse, fuzzy mittens, leggings, and even a crop top. For those seeking to give a new twist to something old, learn to add embellishments to cuffs, collars, and pockets to more challenging projects like handbags, mittens, hats, and sweaters.General Books
