Crafts come and go in popularity, and the current hot craft seems to be knitting. We have two great new titles on this subject! The Knitter's Year by Debbie Bliss offers 52 make-in-a-week projects that revolve around the seasons. Knitters seeking instant gratification will quickly be able to view the results of their handiwork with these projects. Designed to be made in less than a week at a time, these items are ideal for small amounts of yarn left over from previous projects. From springtime fingerless gloves and a floral corsage to a beach bag and lacy scarf, and including a back-to-school iPod cover, chair covers, and ideas for Christmas gifts and tree decorations, knitters will find ideas to occupy themselves throught the year.Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders, edited by Judith Durant has 101 patterns that go way beyond 
socks. Affordable, sturdy and available in endless colorful variations, sock yarn inspires creativity and passion among knitters. Judith Durant has chosen not simply inventive sock patterns but also more than five dozen inspired patterns for other items that can be created from a single skein of yard--in addition to the usual baby clothes, mittens and scarves there are patterns for jewelry, cozies, doll clothes and even a dog sweater and a lamp shade! Contributed by yarn shops and designers throughout North America, the patterns are as fetching as they are fun to knit. Knitters of every skill level will find tantalizing challenges; snome knit up in fewer than three hours, others make creative use of sock yarn leftovers and several make heirloom-worthy gifts.
