Knit fashionable garments using scrap yarn!

Do you need to slim down your stash or use your scraps? If so, this is the book for you. Knitwear designer Erica Berntsen inspire you to use up the yarn you already have rather than buying everything new.  She shows you how to sort your yarn, combine the skeins in creative ways, and create new, trendy knitwear. You will find patterns for sweaters, jackets, tops, tote bags, and purses. You learn to combine different types of yarn and qualities, as well as lots of creative ways to make your crafting green and environmentally smart tips. The knitted sweater you never use can be unraveled and turned into a new sweater, and why not swap leftover yarn with a friend? This way, both the yarn and the garments have a longer life.
