Nice pictures and nice story

Nice pictures and nice story, but the FIRST pattern I try doesn't make sense (I'm an experienced knitter) and I need to look for a fix to the pattern online where hope they made them.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Short tutorial

Permanent in my library

I bought this book as soon as it came out and I (and others who enjoy browsing my shelves) have returned to it regularly ever since. There is something soothing about this book. Although I'm self-taught and don't remember learning from any of my family members, I still enjoy stories immensely. The patterns, photos and instructions are all great. I wish people thought so much about knitting books. It's a keeper and I look forward to passing it on to my granddaughter.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Change

Sweet and Charming Book

This delightful knitting book brings together family knitting stories written by many great knitters. Some of the members are Meg Swanson, Jared Flood, Pam Allen, Isolde Teague, Lee Radford and Ann Hanson. Although the patterns in this book are not family patterns, many of them are inspired by the designer's family. . Some of the ones that really touched me are the Afghan family tree created by Larissa Brown, inspired by her grandmother's love of knitting Afghan things. Designer Judy Becker'sโ€ฆ

Pros
