"Emma Varnam's latest book pays tribute to her enduring love of vintage design and colour combinations, featuring 20 patterns with a retro vibe. You'll need some basic skills to get started, but you'll find these projects mostly quick and easy to make - and wonderfully practical to use. Granny squares are enjoying a major revival right now, and in this diverse collection Emma shows how a classic granny-square design can become a useful storage basket in your home, a stylish handbag for an evening out, a snuggly boho scarf for a chilly day, or a vibrant cosy for your afternoon tea...Although we'd love to make every project in this book, perhaps our favourite design is a timeless classic - the Beautiful Vintage Blanket."
