Reviews
This is a book with a variety of projects including a shawl, hats, a sleeveless top and matching jacket, teacosy and a fulled bag. Some of the projects (shawl and beret) are designed to use various yarns from your stash.Most of the yarns are 8 ply (DK weight) and the sizing is fairly generous (up to finished size 116 cm bust). All of the projects show a beautiful use of colour.
