Fun Time Sweaters
Overview
What was her favorite thing about the matinee?
She got to share popcorn with her best friend. And
she decided that fruit punch was way better than
lemon-lime soda. Of course, the movie was really
funny! But her favorite thing was getting to wear
her new sweater, the soft one you knit for her.
With original details like scallops, twisted trim,
stripes, a tie closure, and ruffles with intarsia heart
borders, all five of these fresh designs are perfect
to wear to the movies, the park, the pizza parlor—
anywhere a girl can have fun!
Features
Five knit designs by Lisa J. Ellis, made using
various weights of yarn: Scalloped Cardigan,

50 Fabulous
Knit Aran Stitches
Overview
An ardent collector of knit patterns, Rita Weiss was
always fascinated with the beautiful Aran sweaters that
supposedly came from the Aran Islands off the coast of
Ireland. She loved the stories that accompanied them and
the idea that each stitch had a special meaning. Though
historians now are saying the stories were all a myth,
Rita never stopped loving the patterns. She shares 50
favorites here. Each can be worked in any yarn you
choose, either in “multiples” (the number of stitches
needed to complete one unit of the pattern) or in
“panels” with a specific stitch count.
Features
The stitches include Cathedral Cables, Basket Weave, Tree of Life,
Ropes, Cable Circles, Double Cable, Diamond Boxes, Honeycomb,
Cable Lace, Edged Cable, Interlocking Cables, Lobster Claw, Trinity
Stitch, Rapunzel’s Cable, Open Cables, Bubble Cable, Chubby Cables,
Cable Twist, Tied Ropes, Framed Bobbles, Cable Columns, Desert
Sand, Chain Link Cable, Braided Cable, Bobbles and Diamonds,
Popcorn Cables, Blarney Kiss, Trellis, Two-Tone Cable, Twining Cable,
Scattered Oats, Quilted Cables, Entwined Lozenges, Zigzag Cables,

Freezer Paper Quilting
Overview
Freezer paper is a quilter’s best friend! The fact that
it has a shiny side that will adhere to fabric when
ironed, then is easily removed, means that freezer
paper has a multitude of wonderful possibilities. It
makes appliqué easy; it eliminates the need to make
all those paper patterns for foundation piecing; it
makes hand piecing quicker and easier because there
is no need to trace templates onto your fabric.
Machine or hand quilting can be quicker and more
precise. And wonder of wonders, freezer paper
makes it really easy to transfer photos onto fabric.
Features
This book has all the basic instructions plus 29 fun
projects: My Flower Garden, Framed Stars, Cruising
to Alaska, Mini Quilt Greeting Cards, Log Cabin Zoo,
Take-Along Ohio Stars, Irish Chain Revisited, Christmas
Stars & Angels, Quilted Memories, Tulips in the
Garden, Christmas Trees, My Angel the Pug, The
Finishing Touch, Blazing Blossoms, and Baxter the Boxer.

The Wrapping Scarf
Revolution
Overview
Say “no, thanks” to paper AND plastic, because wrapping
scarves are the earth-friendly way to end the cycle of
waste! Author Patricia Lee shows how easy it is to replace
gift wrap, shopping bags, and more with elegant, time-
honored wrapping scarves. The book starts with a brief
history of the use of the wrapping scarf in ancient Asia,
followed by quick lessons in how to knot and twist a scarf
and tie a bow. There are 12 easy, attractive gift wrapping
methods, 7 ways to make purses and a backpack out
of scarves, 7 ways to use scarves around the house, and
instructions for making your own wrapping scarves.
Features
Patricia Lee learned about the use of bojagi, or wrapping scarves,
while on a visit to Korea, the land of her birth. Years later, she
learned that Americans throw away four million tons of
wrapping paper and bags each Christmas. Convinced it was
time to act, she started the Bobo Wrapping Scarf Company,
named after the Korean word for wrapping scarf. Says Patricia,
“I just know that the time is right for America to embrace this
idea. … The wrapping scarf can be used over and over again and
is beautiful and elegant.”
