An OK book of accessories
TWO BALLS OR LESS is another book that hopes to lure you in by offering projects that you may want to do as gifts, especially for someone who likes a bit of 'bling' in their wardrobe. I looked at the book in a local bookstore, and passed on it simply because nothing jumped out at me.

There aren't any images beyond the cover to access online, so I am listing the projects by name to be helpful to anyone who is trying to make a blind decision about whether to roll the dice and buy it:

- Warm hearted bed warmer
- Pebble pillows
- Rainbow rags storage cube
- Fruit fizz coasters
- Bubbles and bobbles cushion
- 2 Kids
- Fun fur baby bonnet
- Knitty kitty backpack
- Super soft slippers
- Colourful capelet
- Giddy gilet
- 3 Adults
- Running river ribbon scarf
- Simple slub shrug
- Corsage camisole
- Two-tone twist scarf
- Classic cloche hat
- 4 Gifts
- Pucker-up purse
- Pooch pullover
- Sassy stripe armwarmers
- Gilt edge glitter belt
- Bollywood bag

My suggestion: Go to YOUR local bookstore or library and peruse it before spending the $$. My hunch is this book will have a pretty limited following.

creative knitting
The book has creative,basically quick patterns. Some of the patterns could only work if you are knitting for children. The use of a variety of yarns makes it interesting.
