Green Daily Giveaway: Alt Fiber Knitting Projects
Are the typical offerings at your yarn store getting you down? How about a hat knitted from soy or a mittens from seaweed that transmit vitamins and nutrients to your skin? If you are interested in exploring new and interesting yarns for knitting, our newest giveaway, Alt Fiber: 25+ projects for knitting green with bamboo, soy, hemp, and more by Shannon Okey, is just the right fit for you.Alt Fiber begins with detailed explanations of the natural plant fiber yarns available and even has a section devoted to dying your own skeins. If you skip to the back, you can find a complete list of vendors who sell these specialized yarns.
The bulk of the book is comprised of beautiful, modern patterns with full color photographs. Whether you are in need of some "clever socks" or a "midnight lace stole" made from Sea Silk (part silk, part seaweed) this book will inspire you to create with new mediums.
Shannon Okey is the author and coauthor of nine books including the Knitgrrl series. She can also be found on HGTV and the DIY Network.
