Wild about yarn

ABOUT THE BOOK
Knitting and crocheting are enjoying a tremendous resurgence. Young and old alike have once again picked up their knitting needles, crochet hooks, and yarn, ready to throw themselves into making beautiful creations. The book Wild About Yarn is the perfect resource for all those who have been seized by this renewed interest in knitting and crocheting. Handicrafts can provide a welcome respite in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks require focus and concentration - almost like a trip to the spa for your brain, allowingyour hands to work while your thoughts can run free.

Whether you're a beginner and want to see immediate, marvelous results, or you're an experienced knitter and crocheter who just needs a little help to get going again, Wild About Yarn will provide you with inspiration and guidance. The book contains ideas for scores of beautiful projects: Elegant handbags, lovely coverlets and pillows, socks, caps, and shawls. Pictures and clear pattern instructions accompany each project. Some of the patterns are taken from Politiken's many knitting and crocheting books, while others are new projects, including instructions for wonderfully soft wrist warmers and a knitted poncho. By using these beautiful patterns and yarns, you can bring new life to both your home and your wardrobe - and without spending a fortune.

Knitting and crocheting are perfect for those looking for good solo projects on those long winter evenings, as well as for those who want to share the creative process with others - either in a knitting club or via various social media. Wild About Yarn contains all the creative inspiration and guidance that you need to get started.
