Because knitters love trying out new ideas and new techniques, Alison has included lots of tips to show exactly how to deal with any of the potentially challenging elements, from turning the heel on a luxury bedsock to knitting on four needles, for those new to the skill. With some great lace projects, delicate little edgings for existing jumpers, marvellously soft and feminine scarves and shawls and even cushions and home decorations, this book of little knits is just what every knitter has been craving.

Alison Crowther-Smith is a passionate knitter and a great communicator. She teaches very successful workshops for Rowan, encouraging newcomers and boosting the self confidence of those who want to take on new knitting challenges.
