Speed Knitting -- For those with lots of ambition but just a little bit of time, Speed Knitting pulls together 24 stunning projects that take from a few hours to a weekend at most. Whether it's a chic capelet or adorable baby booties, these cozy and stylish patterns make the most of big needles and cuddly, chunky yarns, so busy knitters can make the most of their valuable time. There's a pattern here for every skill level—and for every occasion. The Toddler Tank Dress makes an adorable shower gift; the Men's Crew Neck Sweater is the perfect surprise for dear old dad; and the Button-up Pillow Cover is an easy-to-achieve housewarming present. With the help of simple diagrams, gorgeous photos of each finished project, a comprehensive techniques section, and straightforward language throughout (none of those confusing abbreviations), Speed Knitting makes it a pleasure to whip up warm and woolly masterpieces.
