All too often, knitting for the home books feature ridiculous items like plant pot cosies that no one in their right minds would want to spend time making. This book offers projects - and a lot of them - that are practical as well as beautiful. I have a list of cushions and throws that I want to tackle and will update this review when I have established how easy it is to translate them into Uk yarns. Fingers crossed that they work as well as the images promise.

Really lovely book, images are photographed and styled really well. I will be knitting quite a few projects from this book and with there being 60 to choose from your bound to find a new project with ease.
However whilst most of the projects are really lovely a few are fillers, there are 2 different hot water bottle covers, really I don't think I own a hot water bottle let alone want to knit a cover for one. About 10 projects are felted, I'm generally not a fan of felting but there is a hat pattern that may sway me, the book does have a section on felting if you have not attempted it before, however the instructions are for a top loader or a front loader if you can open the door, I don't have either so i will have to research further in order to felt my projects. Of the two sweater patterns both are roll neck! Urgh does anyone actually wear those horrible things, I would be investigating other options for the necks if I were to knit them.
There are a lot of beautiful projects, cushions, blankets, throws and wraps that I will be kept busy knitting for a long time. Plus the book is just lovely to look at, really quite inspiring.

I bought "Knitting at Home" rather than another similarly titled knitting book I was about to purchase having read an earlier reviewer's comments praising this book. On receipt I had an initial quick flick through and thought it was ok but maybe a little bland as most of the designs seemed to be in neutral or muted shades. It was only later when I had time to look through the book properly page by page that I saw what a great find it really was. It is full of beautiful projects, clear instructions and lovely photographs and contains items which would suit most homes as the designs are not overpowering but more classically elegant and comforting. There are also projects for every skill level. I am now half way through my first "pillow" aka cushion and it is so simple but looks amazing. I have many other projects I want to try next including one of the throws, with flowers, which looks amazing but is far simpler to make (judging from the instructions) than I initially assumed. I have been using my own yarn stash rather than the Ella Rae yarns they recommend (simply as they would be too pricey for me) but my cushion is knitting up well and I can't wait to finish it and start my next project. This is a great book which I highly recommend and I hope Leanne Prouse brings out further books in the future.
