description: What do you do with left-over balls of wool when there’s too little to make a whole garment but too much to throw away? Debby Robinson has come up with the ideal solution—a book full of creative patterns, specially designed to use up those odds and ends of yarn.There are ideas for everything from jackets, sweaters, slippers, gloves, hats, socks, and scarves to tea cozies and hot water bottle covers—something, in fact, for everyone. None of the patterns requires more than 100gm (3 1/2 ounces) of any wool—most use less than 50gm (1 3/4 ounces)—and many leave the choice of color and yarn to the knitter.The designs and motifs used in the patterns are clearly explained in graphs and there is a color photograph of each finished article. An introductory section describes basic knitting techniques with advice on how to best combine different weights of yarns. All the articles in the book are fun to make and have been designed to encourage a more imaginative approach to hand-knitting.
