Another great book for the knitters library by Mason!

Again, Mason outdoes nearly every other knitting book of patterns with her wit, easy style, and colorful choices. Her encouragement for the average knitter is just phenomenal, constantly encouraging the knitter [accomplished as well as novice] to push themselves just one step farther and add to the design element.

I simply love the designs in this book, and find myself longing for more yarns so that I can make so many of these!

Twenty-four designs are included in the three categories of: cloths and cozies; bed, bath and baby; and house and home.

Mason includes guides for the novice, and ideas for the acccomplished.

I love Mason's style, and will certainly purchase any new books she may come out with!

I give Yarnplay at Home a five star rating... and my thumbs up award!

****DISCLOSURE: This book was a private purchase for my own home library. ( )
