If you ever wanted to know what to make with all that novelty yarn you picked up, this book offers some great suggestions. And I mean, REALISTIC suggestions, not just things like Headbands, or Bookmarks, but actual items of clothing and fun accessories.

A Yummy Book

Every time we take on a new type of yarn it is a learning experience, we need to learn its properties which include the best pattern and needle size. It is not like all the skill goes out the door, but it is a challenge.

This book tackles some of the latest and strangest. You can only do so many safe projects with standard and chunky yarns. This book allows us to move on with many of the new Novelty yarns.

We are all familiar with latter or lattice yarn and its challenges but who would have thought of Jelly Yarn?

The book is broken down into logical sections and includes a resources section.

And for those people getting off the ground for the first time, there are twenty "Learn to Knit" projects.
