Summary

The author of AlterKnits Felt shows knitters how to turn a little yarn into fun projects and gifts—including baby clothes, bags, and household items.  “Two needles and one (or one more) skein of yarn—the possibilities never cease to amaze me,” writes Leigh Radford in the introduction to her new book. Radford’s fascination with the creative potential of these raw materials is evident throughout One More Skein, where she melds the alternative approach to knitting and felting she introduced in AlterKnits and AlterKnits Felt with the magic she worked with a single skein of yarn in the bestselling One Skein.One More Skein features 30 diverse projects that can be completed with one or two average-sized skeins of yarn or multiple bits of leftover yarn. Projects include an earflap hat sized for the whole family; fingerless mitts; sweaters, britches, and capelets for baby; hemp jewelry embellished with jump ring “beads”; a felted, pleated sleeve to dress up a vase; and a multicolored blanket worked from assorted stash yarn. All of them are quick and relatively easy to make, without sacrificing beauty or ingenuity.

    Create your own farm in your garden with tips on growing, harvesting and eating your own produce.
Nicki Trench has created her own garden farm from scratch, and now shares with you everything there is to know about growing vegetables, fruit and herbs, including making your own compost, growing in raised beds and protecting your crops from pests and disease. Nicki also explains how to rear chickens for eggs and bees for honey, and gives advice on keeping goats and pigs. The benefits of creating your garden farm are not just economic – the energy once obsessively expended on the exercise bike can now be channelled more productively by digging the vegetable patch, turning the compost or cleaning out the hen coop. Communities are reappearing over garden fences as neighbours share their harvest of courgette, spinach and eggs. Whatever you choose to grow or rear on your garden farm, this book offers a taste of the good life that is easy, satisfying and inexpensive to achieve.

    Do you want to discover more, choose wisely and deep-dive into the amazing world of Italian wine? 
In this seven-day guide, you will gain a simple-to-digest lesson on Italian wines, taking you from any starting point, to being able to select, taste, pair and pour an outstanding Italian variety. If you are currently at a fairly average stage in your wine knowledge and need a book where a plane ticket to Italy is not required, then this book is for you. 
Do you need the skills to be able to deliver the right bottle of wine for all social occasions, and start to raise your game from just Pinot Grigio or Merlot? Then we are here for you. Drinking and sharing wine is one of life’s great pleasures, and even better if you know what on earth you’re doing. And we plan to get you to exactly that point with clear explanations, visual maps and example wines to add to your growing collections. 
These seven days take you through everything from knowing Italian labels and the 20 wine regions, spreading across 695,000 hectares, to knowing how to store wine correctly. We give you takeaway lessons each day, such as how to open the bottle and pour a sophisticated glass. You will also be able to identify aromas with specific visual tools provided, and ultimately be able to pair the right wine with the right foods. Finally, we give you a daily Wine of the Day to try each evening with us and put theory into practise, as well as our final Top 10 chosen wishlist on our final day together. 
This audio will help you navigate the world of Italian wine, even if you are starting from zero knowledge.
