Candi Jensen--a craft and needlework designer with 25 years of experience--discusses everything from choosing the proper needles to avoiding such gaffs as mixing acrylic yarn with mohair yarn (acrylic needs a dryer to keep its shape, while mohair should never see the inside of a dryer). The friendly, step-by-step instructions and color-coded charts make Knit Scarves! perfect for knitters of all skill levels.
