"Lovely gifts in luscious yarns . . . that will never go out of style" that can be completed in about 10 hours or--way--less (Planet Purl). Today's knitters are chic, smart-and busy. Although they love to knit and enjoy making gifts for family and friends, they're constantly faced with the challenge of finding enough time to actually finish what they've started. Last-Minute Knitted Gifts solves this problem. Joelle Hoverson, owner of Purl, the hip knitting supply store in downtown Manhattan, has designed more than 30 fun, fresh, beautiful patterns, most of which can be made in less than ten hours--some in as little as two! Known for her keen sense of color, Hoverson includes instructions for classic gifts like baby booties and bonnets, sweaters, and scarves, plus imaginative options like a cashmere tea cozy, a felted yoga mat bag, floor cushions, and a poncho--surely something for everyone on the gift list. And to make each present extra-special, Hoverson offers easy tips on how to incorporate knitting and other yarn embellishments into the gift wrap.… (more)

This has some great short pieces that can be knit up in a couple of hours. Everyone I've made one of these patterns for has loved it. ( )

I loved that this book was broken down into chapters based on how long it would take you to knit them, although given the fact that very few people knit at the same speed, this shouldn't be taken as gospel. I took it to be more of an average time, so I personally didn't have a problem with that. The pictures were lovely and the directions were easy to follow and understand. Some of the projects weren't really what I'd call gifts, but to each his own. I enjoyed leafing through it and picking out my favorites. The projects I did make, though, turned out nicely.

5/5 stars. ( )

Great little patterns, divided into chapters by the estimated time required to complete them. ( )

Cute projects but I wish the author was more clear about the weight of the yarn she used. Hard to tell for some projects. ( )

This is one of those books that the library is going to have to pry from my dead hands. I just learned how to knit with five DPNs (and now I'm learning how to knit with four DPNs to make my first pair of socks). This book is all about knitting in the round. The instructions are very clear. The patterns and pictures are gorgeous.

I don't want to give it back!!! ( )
