Review:

If you're a knitter who likes using your hobby to make your loved ones smile, why not make pairs of mittens to give as gifts? They're fairly quick to complete, so it means that you'll have time to treat everyone. Beginners will be tempted by the Ruffles & Ribbons mittens on the front cover, with their central oval drop stitch styling, intermediate knitters should try the Lil' Bambinos flip-top mittens for kids, while experienced knitters will enjoy the Celtic Moors colour-stranded mittens. The projects are worked in different ways - on double-pointed needles, two circular needles, with the magic loop method on one circular needle, or on straight needles - so there's lots of variety.-Knit Today
