Freaked out by complicated instructions? Want to embrace your mistakes? How do you knit fur? How about some funky patterns for children's clothes that kids will love? Well, Lærke Bagger is here for you. In addition to eschewing perfection, the Lærke Bagger technique involves tying knots instead of sewing the ends of yarn, recycling every inch of wool, and letting mistakes be a part of the design.

In this unique guide, she offers advice for knitters of every level from beginner to advanced, fifteen basic patterns that can be varied infinitely to suit individual skill sets, tastes, and materials, and 45 knitting techniques for personalising your projects.
There are illustrated instructions for making socks, scarves and sweaters...but you'll also find ideas for creating babysuits, scrunchies, T-shirts and even a prom dress. With names like the Carpe Diem Sweater, the Bad Idea Top and the Easy Peasy Pillow, her knits are easily translated to fit whatever mood you're in.
Along the way, Lærke Bagger dispenses unique pearls of wisdom for living in today's hectic world.
