If you knit, you likely have a stash that includes small amounts of leftover yarn along with yarn purchased without a specific project in mind. In her latest book, popular knitwear designer Leapman (Mastering Color Knitting) combines an interesting selection of projects with tips for organizing, storing, and cataloging yarn; advice on color selection; and brief descriptions of common knitting techniques. The projects—for accessories, garments, and home decor—are organized by yarn weight, and most are accessible to knitters of all skill levels. Leapman's books never disappoint, and this one is no exception—the information is excellent and the projects are attractive.
