Weekend Knitting!

More than two dozen knitting patterns can each be finished in a short stretch, which makes them a good match for a weekend at the needles. The wearable selection includes hats, matching scarf sets, a straightforward poncho, cowls, mittens, slippers and socks. For the home, the book covers simple dishcloths, hot pads, coasters, mug rugs and a large afghan worked in chunky-weight yarn.

Because the smaller pieces use only modest amounts of yarn, they are a practical way to put leftover skeins from your stash to use.
