The projects are easy and simple, but with a modern aesthetic that manages to be both sophisticated and cozy. This book will strike a chord with DIYers who love yarn but don’t always want to take the time and effort to knit something from it. Some of the projects include a Sputnik lamp shade, a welcome mat, jewelry, and even a rehabbed woven lawn chair. Put away your needles and crochet hooks and create fabulous projects, from accessories to home goods and more!”
