This is one book I might have to look into buying. I would love how the striping yarn works
I really like the book “Self-Striping Projects” and love the cap and cowl.
Your review is thorough as always. I’v never made anything with striping yarn, but definitely need to change that. Cute things in this book!
I love self-striping yarns, and am excited to possibly try some of these patterns
I enjoy self striping yarn and the more I work with it the more I know the striping pattern for certain projects.
