Really, this is one of my all-time favorite books with each project being better than the last. It is hard to choose what to knit first. I love the new cover color, too. You are a talent and all of your books deserve a long shelf-life!Susan B.

Unfortunately my children are not cooperating in my desire for grandchildren to knit for, and there don't seem to be any peripheral babies in my life either! <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I should just "knit for the future"!<BR/><BR/>- Suzanne, the Farmer's WifeSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475380451527801666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-13460182692937288822008-03-11T09:36:00.000-04:002008-03-11T09:36:00.000-04:00If I didn't already own it, I's zip on over and bu...If I didn't already own it, I's zip on over and buy it!

A friend has been working cute projects from it, though.<BR/><BR/>However, Kids Knitting? I ***LOVE*** that book. I have a copy in my classroom where I teach kids. I even recommend it to my adult beginning knitters. It is just simply a wonderful book... projects, explanations of technique, photos and illustrations. Thank you for that one. Very big thanks.<BR/><BR/>LynnHColorJoy LynnHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238476918178854398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-74776904470293878442008-03-10T22:58:00.000-04:002008-03-10T22:58:00.000-04:00This is my favorite book of baby projects.

The blankets, the sweaters, the bear - all great. And I think I may have the baby booties memorized; I've made them so many times. Thanks to you and Melanie for writing it -- elegant, practical baby clothes and clear instructions are a great combination.<BR/>-AndreaAndyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098373537789077361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-50371924540197192282008-03-10T16:39:00.000-04:002008-03-10T16:39:00.000-04:00I love this book.

I once chatted with you in Boston about the baby in the cabled pullover who was so adorable and convinced me to knit that beautiful sweater.<BR/><BR/>Sadly my son has outgrown everything I knit back then.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981692795144136492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-28394720929803969232008-03-10T12:57:00.000-04:002008-03-10T12:57:00.000-04:00This book was my introduction to your designs and ...This book was my introduction to your designs and I've told you before, I still love it more than five years after I bought it.
