Publisher Synopsis
As much as we hate to admit it, we all make mistakes. This book is a remedy for errors, a knitter's first-aid kit, if you like. Run out of yarn before you've finished your project and discovered it has been discontinued? Buttonholes won't hold the shaped buttons you've set your heart on? No problem! Lisa Kartus uses her experience to help you rescue projects and also to recognise when it's wise to let a mistake stand. And not only will you find the best solution to your problem, she'll help you to learn from your mishaps too. In fact, when you read the book it's as though Lisa is on your shoulder, poised and ready to offer a helping hand. We love the way the book is written, in an easy-going, conversational tone. You can tell it's by someone sympathetic!-Knit Today Read more...
