Book - 2016

"Looking for knits that take only a little time but are big on style? Weekend Wraps features 18 designs that make short work of knitting gorgeous accessories. Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre, along with some of today's top design stars, have created a chic and cozy collection of cowls, shawls, shrugs, and ponchos. Many of these quick knits require less yarn than a sweater making them the perfect projects for those special skeins you've been hoarding. The projects are all worked in worsted-weight or heavier yarn, so they'll fly off your needles and keep you warm on a brisk walk in the woods, at an outdoor concert, or while strolling through town. Grab your needles and Weekend Wraps and you'll be ready for... your next knitting getaway!,"--page [4] of cover.

Review by Library Journal Review

MacDonald and LaBarre, coauthors of Weekend Hats and New England Knits, team up for another collection of attractive, quick-to-knit projects. All of the pieces are knit from worsted- or bulky-weight yarn, and most feature stitch patterns with short, easy-to-memorize repeats. Coziness is key-think comfy cowls and generously sized shawls-and the stitch definition of the heavier yarns is striking. Projects range from pieces with basic knit-purl stitch patterns to incorporating cables or lace; all are within the reach of confident novices. VERDICT Cool weather and handknits are a perfect match, and the accessories in this collection will get knitters excited about the lowering temperatures. © Copyright 2016.
