Stitchers of every level will want to grab their hooks and dive into such fashionable projects as a lovely pink mohair neck wrap with frilly, feminine edges; a snuggly brown scarf, worked in chunky wool and featuring flower attachments along its length; and a fabulous elongated clutch with a snap closure and decorative medallion. In addition to the basic stitches, Toukou offers invaluable advice on working with budget yarns and mastering special skills, including tassel-making, felting, and appliqué.  IT179  Retail 24.95
