Summary: Learn to knit with AMAZING novelty yarns! New and creative!
Review: As a beginner knitter, I was happy to find "Yummy Yarns". The project patterns with novelty yarns are very cool and wearable. This is the first book I found that discusses novelty yarns in categories including eyelash, fur, metallic fuzz and a hot new yarn called jelly yarn! The authors make learning to knit fun and easy as they explain the ins-and-outs of knitting with these brilliant specialty yarns.

Really clear step-by-step color photographs improved my knitting skills; knitting, purling, and especially increasing, decreasing and binding off. "Yummy Yarns" will inspire you to begin knitting beautiful yummy scarves, purses, tops, sweaters with colorful forgiving novelty yarns.

Summary: A Yummy Book
Review: Every time we take on a new type of yarn it is a learning experience we need to learn its properties which include the best pattern and needle size. It is not like all the skill goes out the door but it is a challenge.

This book tackles some of the latest and strangest. You can only do so many safe projects with the standard and chunky yarns. This book allows us to move on with many of the new Novelty yarns.

We are all familiar with latter or lattice yarn and its challenges but who would have thought of Jelly Yarn?

The book is broken down into logical sections and includes a resources section.

And for those people getting off the ground for the first time, there are twenty "Learn to knit" projects.
