I love how there are so many different projects to choose from, catering to different skill levels. There is also a plethora of fun stitches to try too, like the Pretty In Pink Infinity Cowl seen below. Aren't those stripes lovely?

One of my favorite projects in the book are the Thrummed Slippers. Thrumming is simply adding a small piece of unspun fleece/roving and stitching it right into the project every so often as you go. Thrumming is most commonly seen in mittens and items for the feet. It is super duper warm and luxurious to wear. This would be a great project to try this technique!

I am a huge fan of color and this blanket is so happy and pretty! It is made using a log cabin pattern and it reminds me of a fabulous quilt!

The Big Pink Hat (love the name by the way) is a perfect project in the book for beginners. I think it is great too for whipping up a few handmade gifts as well...make one in the recipient's favorite color!
