Review on 🧶 Knitting for Peace: Spreading Harmony Through Creative Stitches by Nicole Mcleod

When I received the book Knitting for Peace: Make the World a Better Place, One Stitch to a Time, I expected the book to be smaller. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the book not only includes patterns for knitting for charity, but also stories about how they came to be, useful tips on how to get involved in charity work, and some contact information for charities involved deal with a specific topic. Knitting patterns are written clearly and understandably. There is a helpful index at the end of the book that explains not only the stitch abbreviations but also the various techniques and textures used. There are also links to sites where you can get started with charity and philanthropy models. I was pleased to see my favorite pattern resources listed. Overall, I would recommend this book to any knitter who wants to make crafts for charity. I originally bought the book because it was cheaper than buying two templates, which I was looking for separately. Then I found out that it has more templates than expected. I have to say I'm very excited about this, as are some of my friends I work with as we all volunteer for various charities. Our local Humane Society has some lovely kittens and dogs that will love the Adopt Me pattern from the book. :-) Definitely my "must have" recommendations for the future!
