A basket that stands. A blanket that lies flat.

A handsome basket in a photograph and a basket that actually stands on a shelf are two different things. This book is about what photographs never show: why the basket collapses, why the blanket curls into a tube, why the cushion cover hangs like a sack — and what to do so that yours turn out differently.

No patterns to fit, no body measurements

Things for the home do not have to fit a body. They have to fit the cushion already on your sofa and the shelf where the basket is meant to stand. So instead of fixed stitch counts you get a formula you convert to your own yarn — with a worked example beside it, so you can see how it goes.

What's inside

32 projects across six areas of the home
Six base constructions — they will also make things not in this book
Felting on needles: baskets that stand unaided
An honest time count on every project
Measurement tables and how to calculate yarn quantities
Washing, blocking, repairs
A "Make and Sell" chapter, with permission to sell what you make
Quick index, glossary, project card

Metric and US measurements throughout — needles, lengths, weights and temperatures all given in both systems.

Who it is for

For anyone who can already knit and purl. This is not a book for complete beginners — it is for people who want what they make to stay in the home for years.
