Simple Knits with a Twist : Unique Projects for Creative Knitters, by Erika Knight.

I was rather disappointed after borrowing this from the library. While the illustrations are wonderfully clear, the projects just aren't all that spectacular. The author seems more preoccupied with using unusual materials to knit with than the end result. So you can knit a cushion out of strips of felt - what's the point, when so many people felt their knitted items anyway? With the exception of the armchair cover (which is impractical, but cool), none of the patterns themselves are unusual, just the variation in what they're made from. Slippers out of satin ribbon, a garter stitch purse from tulle, shopping bag from recycled shopping bags, the aforementioned cushion from felt, and a garden kneeler from kitchen twine.. The 'simplicity' the title speaks of is just another word for boring.
