Synopsis: Decorate in Style with Colorful, Cozy Handknits

From inviting afghans and throws to a playful cozy for a French press and a mini sweater for a wine bottle, YarnPlay at Home gives you the perfect knitted accent piece for every room in your home. Dress up your bathroom with a super-soft bathmat or jazz up your dining table by slipping silverware into flirty little napkin skirts.

Inside YarnPlay you'll find:

   • a guide to "living with color" that shows you how to choose colors that complement the pieces you already have and create the right mood
   • a wide variety of projects, both big and small, from kitschy cozies to full-size blankets and throws
   • stash-busters for using up all those odds and ends of yarn
   • overflowing reference sections with a basic guide to yarn, needles and knitting notions, a glossary of knitting terms, an abbreviations key, a needle size conversion chart and a list of inspirational home decor magazines and websites
