Lots of pillows and blankets.

Buku Hand Knit for the Home ini menampilkan 22 karya rajut kontemporer sebagai penghias dan pelengkap interior rumah. Dua bab pertama membahas dasar-dasar merajut seperti alat dan bahan, jenis-jenis benang. Bab-bab berikutnya berisi karya-karya rajut dekor berdasarkan teknik rajut yang digunakan : Stripes, Cables, Multicolor Pattern, dan Textured Knits, ditutup dengan penjelasan mengenai Finishing di bab terakhir.

Nilai tambah dalam buku ini adalah pemakaian foto-foto yang jelas untuk menerangkan langkah-langkah teknik rajut yang digunakan dalam setiap karya. Foto karya rajutnya sendiri memiliki nilai seni yang tinggi, seperti sebuah majalah interior. Sayangnya kadang sudut pengambilan fotonya tidak difokuskan pada rajutan, melainkan lebih kepada suasana ruang.

This book had a lot of interesting designs and concepts. I also enjoyed looking at the photographs of the knitting. There were some neat ideas in here that I might want to knit. All in all, this was a very pleasant book to look through and I would recommend.

Lots of pillows, nothing exciting.

There are a few patterns that I will keep for possible use later, when I become a more experienced knitter.

Mostly patterns for pillowcases and small blankets. Okay, but nothing to get too excited about.
