Exquisite Little Knits by Iris Schreirer & Laurie J. Kimmelstiel
Exquisite Little Knits is a nice little book for “Knitting with Luxurious Specialty Yarns” as the subtitle suggests. Lark Books published Little Knits in 2004 in the hay day of specialty yarns.
Exquisite Little Knits – Back Cover
Do I love this book? It’s mainly a project book of simple accessories that depend of the yarn rather than stitches to make them interesting. Thumbs Down for me!
Photographed How-to’s
I liked the photographed how go’s. They are clear and easy to understand.
Gemstone Scarf
Once the basics are covered, the book is broken down by various types of yarn. This scarf is from the “Lattice” section. It’s nice that a photo of the ball plus an image of the strands of yarn used is included.
“Hat for All” from the Wool section
North Cape Balaclava from the Silk section
Golden Threads Boa from the Ribbon section
Flying V Scarf from the Wool section
I do like this scarf. True to form, I’m always more interested in projects that are made in simple yarns rather than novelty yarns.
Hot & Now Scarf from the Wool Section
Nice unisex garter stitch scarf! A good project for charity knitting or a gift.
