Warm Days, Cool Knits

I received a review copy of this book.

Warm Days, Cool Knits by Corrina Ferguson

Warm Days, Cool Knits by Corrina Ferguson.  When Corrina moved to Florida, she had time on her hands, so she took up knitting.  As Corrina states, ". . . even in the South we love to knit."  She goes on to explain that Southern knitters want to make garments - not just accessories and home decor items. 

This book contains 20 patterns grouped by seasons. The page layout is clean and uncluttered.  For handy reference, schematics are included on the same page as the pattern instructions.  The photos are bright and highlight pattern features and details.

Here's a smattering of projects from the book.

I'm still stuck on 2-color shawls, and Mayella caught my eye.

This asymmetrical shawl takes two skeins of fingering weight yarn. I've already entertained a couple color combinations.

Corrina included several sweaters in her book.

Locklan Cardigan uses a chevron pattern that creates rich, textured fabric - perfect for a sweater.

Some days you want to curl up with a wrap.

Junius is a good candidate.

Warm Days, Cool Knits is not your usual book of warm weather patterns.  Corrina has put together a collection that works well for warm weather, cold weather and everything in-between.
