This is the perfect knitting book for lovers of retro art and the rest of us, children of the seventies. Melanie Porter has created knitting projects in her book
Hand-Knit Your Home for items I'd never have visualized. I have never seen a lampshade covered in yarn, or even a chunky knitted rug, much less a cable knit clock. The book is charming, and full of fun items to make. Her instructions are clear and the photos showcasing her work are beautifully done.
And if you get especially passionate about the book, you could have a fully knitted home---chairs, lamps, cushions, flower pots, wastebasket and table runner, and that's not the full list. Really, Porter's imagination is open to any possibility. Truly a delightful book.
