Vintage knit knacks - Sue Culligan

Vintage Knit Knacks is a fun, project-based guide to knitting aimed at knitters of all abilities. The title has two meanings: first, the book shows readers how to make a range of fun and original knick-knacks; second, the projects are designed to help beginners pick up the 'knack' of knitting. The book starts with a section on the basics of knitting, and then features 20 original and creative projects, including a cafetire warmer; a cushion cover; a wall clock; camera case; fingerless mitts and a hot water bottle cover. The projects incorporate lots of techniques, including lace, fairisle, cabling and beading, and range in difficulty from simple to complex.
