Mary, I'm excited for you too! Would this book be usable by a very-much-a-beginning-knitter? I came home from Christmas vacation with my grandmother's knitting supplies. Nicholas and I have been making our first pot holders using the basic knitting instructions from Kids Knitting: Projects for Kids of all Ages that you recommended you recommended. Nicholas has figured out how to change yarns mid-way, but has yet to teach me.  Your book sounds so tempting!

Janette, I tried to make the projects so they'd be all levels and you could progress right thru them. I didn't "rank" any (beginner, advanced, etc) because I honestly believe that all are doable. Besides, you can always track me down for help!

Yay! That was the answer that the compulsive-book-buyer and knitting-wanna-be in me was hoping for.

Mary! I am pleased as punch to see this great news! I only wish I knew more about knitting to help me along...and an extra strong guardian angel to keep the knitting away from the 3yo...sheesh!
My grandmother knitted and crocheted all the time for people she didn't even know! She did so much so quickly you could scarcely see the needles as they flew! I know that she and her sisters never wanted to be idle. Their hands were always busy doing for others. I love that thought! I want to be more like her...someone has to!
I shall not give up!! 
...wish me luck
God love you!

Fabulous Mary

Mine arrived yesterday and like any good book, I just had to curl up with it and page through.
Lovely.
BTW, great models
