Yes, a copy all of my own of this lovely book. Mum ordered it for me for my birthday which is in a couple of weeks but said it would be fine if I wanted to open the parcel straight away - so I did!!
Here's the original of the knitted coat hanger covers I've been making. I do love those stripy ones but don't have enough different colour wools in ye olde stash to make them.
Normally I don't like using knitting patterns / instructions - I prefer to make it up as I'm going along (which is pretty much my whole attitude to life as I hate being told what to do) - but this book is something else as it just gives you loads of really inspiring ideas and leaves you to adapt or change them to suit you, or the wool you have available.
Plus, the patterns in it are mainly small, easy to complete projects which are pretty, unusual and, in the main, highly useful. Fabulous!
Next up will be a few of these garter-stitch dishcloths, but with a navy cotton edging as that's the only coloured cotton I have knocking around.
Lovely. I think I'll be checking this out over at Book Depository!

I love the photos you've shown. Especially the bag and the bunting, well everything really. I like the fact that the instructions are quick and easy - always a bonus in my view.
Elizabeth, I've passed on an award to you, plse check out my latest post. xx
