Nayu's thoughts
Sometimes knitters have an odd ball of yarn which isn't enough to
make a big project, but a smaller one is needed. That's where this
book is useful! The range of projects is extensive, including
accessories, clothes, blankets, and of course baby items which as a
smaller product suit using 1 skein.

Here's what I did, a cute baby bootie! I didn't note down the pattern name because I thought I'd still be able to access it when I wrote the review. Unfortunately I've gone into the program and unlike novels apparently there was an expiry date so I no longer have this wonderful book. I will look to buy it in the future!
The instructions are easy to use
with large pictures so I had a good idea of what the finished product
looked like. The ribbed effect meant I knitted the equivalent of two
socks in one, so it took a fair amount of time to do. I'm not sure
I'd use this particular pattern again, but I would look at some of
the more complex patterns in the future.
