Quick to make, simple to construct, and fun to give, the soft slippers that crafters can make in this book come in an array of sizes and styles for both children and adults. Using only one skein of chunky weight yarn, most of the projects in this collection can be finished by intermediate-skilled knitters in a single afternoon. Patterns include Mary Janes, Ballet Flats, Lacy Toe-up Slipper Socks, Mitered Square Cuff socks, and more.
FUN! RESOURCEFULNESS! CHAOS! EDUCATION! This one has it all! If you are looking for a down-to-earth story for giggles, or you're entertaining thoughts of what might be hiding out in those dumpsters for average joes and janes like many of us, or you (like me) are a salty, seasoned veteran of the dumpster diving scene, YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!

Shannon Hale has found success with her novels for teens, which often retell folktales and fairy tales. She has a talent for giving would-be princesses interesting backstories and well-earned triumphs. Her first novel for adults which is quite unlike her previous works - and every bit as enjoyable. Austenland is the story of Jane, a twenty-nine-year-old New Yorker whose day job is successful but rather unsatisfying. Jane is secretly obsessed with Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice and has watched the BBC miniseries countless times.
