It’s no wonder that Knitting For Dummies has been such a success, selling more than 140,000 copies: 36 percent of American women now know how to knit or crochet, an increase of 51 percent over the last decade. This pattern-book sequel gives knitters scores of new ways to have fun with needles and yarn–basic ponchos and pullovers, felted bags and slippers, cabled sweaters, and home and baby accessories, among many more projects. Accompanied by line drawings, knitting tips, and 8 pages of full-color photos, these projects are just what people need to enhance their knitting skills and create a wide range of great knitted items for the whole family.
