Crochet Makes from Scrap Cakes
Love yarn but don't know what to do with all your scraps? This guide will show you how to make wonderful, colourful cakes of yarn to create scrappy but beautiful crochet makes. This unique book explains how you can use up the small balls of yarn that are left over from project making, to make bespoke 'scrap cakes' - chunky balls of scrap yarn - specifically to suit a crochet pattern. Crocheting with scrap cakes gives the finished project a multicoloured scrappy look but in a considered way, because the author explains how to create the scrap cakes to get the perfect colour contrast. She also explains how to make scrap cakes with different colour themes by sorting your scraps into tonal groups before winding them up, it's the perfect way to play with colour and make unique yarn for your crochet projects. The front of the book features a section about how to make the scrap cakes which author, Naomi Vincent, makes on a winder. She also explains how to make them if you are winding the balls by hand in order to make sure that the yarn comes from the centre of the ball while you're working. Naomi explains how many lengths of each colour yarn you need for each part of the pattern, how to measure it out and in what order, how to do the 'magic knot' technique to join the yarns and the order they need to be wound in. In addition to the instructions about making the scrap cakes there are 15 crochet projects for colorful scrappy makes including a shawl, scarf, bag, hat, cardigan and different sized blankets and throws. The projects use lots of interesting crochet stitches and techniques - there's a granny square blanket, a corner to corner throw and some fun stitches like the mini bean stitch and the cluster stitch, and there are instructions for all of these at the back of the book for reference. This has everything you need to bust your stash of 'yarnlings' and make some amazing crochet projects along the way!

The Doodle Knit Directory
A practical guide to 'doodling' with knitted colorwork designs. Readers can choose their favorite charts from the 200 different designs and then mix and match them to create unique projects. They can then combine them in any way they like, repeat their favorite designs, change the colorways and generally have fun 'doodling' with them. All of the charts work together so readers can have lots of fun exploring the endless options and making up their own combinations, playing with colors, adding in plain rows in between the charted rows and generally getting creative. There are instructions for how to use the charts across all the patterns - they all have the same stitch count and work across each of the 9 projects which include a range of accessories such as cowls, scarves, hats and mittens. Doodle knitting is all about having fun with pattern - choose your favorite motifs and create your own combinations. The 9 patterns have specific suggestions for pattern combinations but author, Jamie Lomax, explains how to modify all the projects to create your own versions. The patterns only combine two colors on each row so it's suitable for beginners to colorwork and because it's done on a small scale it's a great way for absolute beginners to try their hand at colorwork, but the large selection of patterns and designs means that more advanced knitters will have plenty to inspire them. The 200 designs are presented seasonally and there are a wide range of motifs including everything from flowers, leaves and mushrooms through to squirrels, sheep and other birds and animals. As well as the motifs there are abstract designs that can be interspersed to break up the patterns and create interest so you can have endless doodling fun.
