Twenty to Make: Knitted Egg Cosies by Susie Johns

Egg cosies are a perennial favourite amongst home knitters, and here Susie Johns shows you how to knit them quickly and easily using the simple patterns in this book. Susie's designs are fun, fresh and inspiring, and will appeal to a wide range of knitters. There are 20 egg cosies to choose from and 20 alternative colourways, ranging in style from traditional to contemporary, fun and funky to cute and homely. There are frogs, cottages, woolly hats, teddies, pirates and even ghosts, to name just a few, so there's bound to be something in this book that you will want to knit. All the designs can be easily adapted to match your home style or colour scheme, or to complement your favourite set of egg cups. They make fantastic gifts too for special friends and relatives. The egg cosies are very quick and easy to make, and can be knitted up in an hour or two from scraps and oddments of wool. They are suitable for knitters of all abilities, and an ideal starting point for adults and children who are just learning to knit.

Keep your breakfast boiled egg warm in style with some fun, quick to make knitted egg cosiesThey are guaranteed to raise a smile and are ideal to make as presents or charity fundraisers. I can remember making and playing with felt or paper finger puppets as a child, and these are also ideal for this purpose. They are also ideal for using up oddments of yarn in an environmentally friendly way and frankly are just plain good fun both to make and use. Choose from everyday novelties such as traditional stripes, various animals, a desert island, silvery robot and adorable octopus, or seasonal and festive designs such as Easter bunny, snowman and penguin, witch, ghost and even a bride and groom for the wedding breakfast. This is not a book on how to knit, but a fun book of projects for anybody who can - you don't need to be a very advanced knitter to tackle these small but satisfying projects, but you do need to be able to knit in the round on four double-pointed needles. Some of the designs double up for a variation made by changing something slightly, such as the ghost becomes an alien, clown becomes Frankenstein and the owl can turn into a companion pussy cat. For a little book I think that you get more than your money's worth.-Myshelf.com
