Bath Knits: 30 Projects Made to Pamper [Paperback]

Knit and crochet designer and author, Mary Beth Temple, has just released her latest book,?Bath Knits: 30 Projects Made to Pamper from Stackpole Publishing. Just as the title suggests, this book includes 30?original knitting patterns that will help create a?spa-like feel right in your own bathroom. Designs include?washcloths and mitts, a robe, slippers, pedicure socks, and room?decor designs such as storage baskets, bath mats, wall hangings, and more.I think this Tab-Top Towel has to be my favorite & with little ones at home this would be great for keeping my hand towels in place!Whether you're looking for a way to give yourself a spa-like experience, you want to create an inexpensive yet luxurious gift or you enjoy knitting useful but small items, Mary Beth Temple has written a book of projects that will satisfy your whims and needs: Bath Knits, 30 Projects Made to Pamper.In this book, you will find everything from washcloths with textures designed to exfoliate dead skin to bathmats, decorative towel edgings and basket linings. She's got a bath mitt, slipper socks, felted soap covers and even a lacy fabric to drape over a faux mirror (I admit, that one mystified me; maybe it prevents mist?). That last one was the most unexpected items, but two runners up are a knitted tray liner and pedicure socks, which might be especially good to wear ? to a nails salon if your feet get cold. I also counted eight different washcloths.When I was active in the Swap on a Budget group in Ravelry a few years ago, this book would have been a great inspiration for that group. Temple's?projects ?are not expensive, but they have the cachet of luxury. It's not every day you find someone with a felted soap cover, a textured bath mitten, or personally decorated towels. I would have been proud to give or receive any of these projects as a swap gift....... My favorite projects are the bathmats. Both are knitted with superbulky yarn, and I wouldn't mind sinking my toes into either of them. ....l³’
