Editorial Reviews

“Here’s the secret of bulky yarns—they knit up quickly. This attractive book features more than 25 patterns that use bulky- or superbulky-weight yarn, and the great thing about them is that they are not the usual suspects. Yes, there are hats, mittens, and scarves and shawls, but there are also a delicate-looking lace capelet, a scalloped necklace, and even a lacy lampshade covering. Knitters looking for instant gratification will find it in smaller projects: braided wall art, jewelry, and round, cabled sachets. Each project gets a clearly explained set of instructions and one, and sometimes two, color photographs of the finished product. Everything about this, from the large print size to the full-bleed pictures, seems as solid as the yarn it celebrates.” — Booklist
