5 Fat Needle Stars
Ooooo, knitting! Yes, it's that wonderful time of year again and Turnip Hats are currently on my needles ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
With explicit instructions and large color photos and drawings, this is an excellent book for beginning knitters who may want to work on something more exciting than the monotonous, and grotesque, garter stitch scarf, as well as for more experienced knitters pursuing a hit of instant gratification.
There is an orientation on "giant needle know-how" that takes the reader through the basics of choosing and using "fat" needles and the textures produced using various yarn weights and types.
Projects do include scarves: gossamer scarf, scrap scarf, zig-zag scarf, and (my fave ౨😆ৎ) the chenille boa; as well as all kinds of bags: shoulder bag, handbag, and shopping bag just to name a few; also rag rugs and assorted cushion covers.
There is a concluding section of "useful things to know", suitable for any beginning knitter, such as seaming techniques, making pom-poms, fringes, and tassels, and basic yarn buying.
The idea of knitting a floor-mat from strips of cloth rags on 15mm (US size 19) needles is gripping, or the possibility of whipping up a chenille boa to replace my tattered imitation-feather boa ౨😆ৎ
Highly Recommend 💛🧚♀️🙋🏼👍.
