“Beginning knitters can complete most of the designs featured, and...the author includes information on substituting yarns. Visually, this is a beautiful book, with full-page color photos of each design and detailed close-ups. Among the many designs featured are an enchanting cashmere teddy bear, a lace-edged baby blanket, and classic baby booties. Warmly recommended for public libraries of all sizes.”—Library Journal.
Knight's earlier pattern book, Comforts of Home (Martingale, 2000), emphasized knitting soft, comfortable fashion accessories for the home. In a similar tone, this book emphasizes classic designs knitted for babies in pastels and naturals using soft fibers such as bulky cottons, silk, and cashmere. Beginning knitters can complete most of the designs featured, and, although specific yarns are recommended, the author includes information on substituting yarns. Visually, this is a beautiful book, with full-page color photos of each design and detailed close-ups. Among the many designs featured are an enchanting cashmere teddy bear, a lace-edged baby blanket, and classic baby booties. Warmly recommended for public libraries of all sizes.

April 16, 2005: The projects in this book are really simple and beautiful. The photography and presentation make this a very satisfying book to leaf through when you need a break from actually knitting (!) and to inspire daydreams of projects to come....Whenever I bring this book to browse through instead of a magazine, co-workers who thought knitting was for crotchety old ladies ask me to teach them how to knit!

October 26, 2004: This book is perfect for beginners, but...it is also a great book for intermediate or advanced knitters. The patterns in this book look good no matter who knits them. Knitters will refer to this book's universal patterns for years.
