Library Journal

With a knitting renaissance well underway in the United States, many books targeted to beginners are hitting the market. Although Falick (Knitting in America), editor of Interweave Knits magazine, and prolific knitwear designer Nicholas (Knitting Today's Classics) here offer a pattern book of 25 knitwear designs for infants to two year olds, theirs is also one of the best books a public librarian could recommend for the novice knitter. It covers in detail every aspect of knitting that could possibly interest a new knitter: casting on, knitting, purling, shaping, color knitting, circular knitting, cables, binding off, and finishing. The projects, which include colorful stitch-sampler baby blocks and felted balls, as well as larger projects like sweaters, blankets, and a felted diaper bag, are presented roughly in order of difficulty. Instructions are complete, illustrations abound, and each project is illustrated in full-color photos by well-known baby photographer Ross Whitaker. For all knitting collections.

Great Beginner Book!
Jessica, a 30-something who likes chic knits, 11/01/2004

This book is a great starting point for improving basic knitting skills. The written directions are supplemented with very clear illustrations; I have used this book as a reference for other projects. I have made many of the projects in this book. The finished projects have made great gifts for new moms I know!!

Also recommended:�Simple Knits for Cherished Babies (anything by Erika Knight), Weekend Knitting, Stitch & B-tch (last title also has great directions for beginners).

Appealing projects, great photos, easy-to-follow instruction
Charleston, SC, A reviewer, 03/08/2004

After checking this book out twice at the library, I've decided to buy it. Unlike the many other knitting books I've thumbed through or borrowed from the library, this one is filled with great projects (no duds here!). It's also more modern than many others, which seem outdated or too frou-frou for my taste. I'm new to knitting, and this appealing book makes it hard to pick which project to start next! It will be a welcome addition to my permanent collection.
