So what could be better than a compendium of 52 handknit designs that will take every knitter all the way through an entire year? Each of the projects in The Knitters Year has been designed to be made in a week or less, with some being as quick to knit up as a rainy afternoon or a couple of evenings. Designs include homewares, accessories & things to wear. They range from a sumptuous yet simple chunky scarf, which takes a few balls of yarn, to the adorable Easter-bunny egg cosies, which can be made using remnants of yarn leftover from larger projects. Divided into the four seasons, the book features spring-time ideas such as a floral corsage & some fingerless gloves, plus homeware items including a shelf edging & lacy bolster cushion. Following are summery projects like a beach bag, simple tank & string shopping bag. Moving into Autumn, Debbie gives ideas for a back-to-school iPod cover & simple beret & scarf.
