A Guide to Knitting What Kids Really Want

Vickie Howell--the popular host of DIY network's Knitty Gritty--plus a dozen contributing designers have stepped out of the box with 25 super-original, funky playtime projects that are as much fun for parents to knit as they are for children to receive.

Not another boring sweater! Vickie Howell, and her group of talented contributors, will make you the most popular parent on the block with the coolest projects for kids' stuff ever. These knits are gifts children will go nuts over, because they include a playful range of costumes and toys. Crafty moms and dads can create such enchanting items as a wizard's hat and princess crown; a super kid cape, mermaid dress up, pirate bath set, alien tooth fairy pillows, bowling ball and pins, and a tool set with pouch. Vickie includes estimations of how long each project will take to complete, along with tips for busy knitters and advice on special techniques, such as felting, tassel making, and edgings. Many of the designers have appeared on her show--but every item is a never-before-seen original.

Simple Techniques for Beautiful Results

Accents make a room in the same way that accessories make an outfit--and these lovely knits can transform a home. Fashioned from such yarns as alpaca, cashmere, and the new microfibers, they look gorgeous and feel indulgently soft, too. There’s something for everywhere in the house, from kitchen to nursery, bedroom to bath. An elegant, oversized throw not only dresses up a sofa or chair, but becomes a snuggly wrap on a cold winter’s day; mock cables with eyelets give the piece an airy feeling without sacrificing warmth. A delightfully loopy pillow, with its lush deep pile, creates funky fun anywhere. Novices will especially appreciate the close-up photos and instructions for knitting bobbles and buttonholes, inserting zippers, and working with chenille.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects—and share the stories of their lives... At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop’s owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends—Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and KC—exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia’s heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her world is shattered. Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle-making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.

Beautiful Basics for Baby Boomers

With more people than ever interested in knitting, there have been many volumes to teach newcomers the basics and reeducate the lapsed. But none has targeted the mature audience...until now. Designed with larger type for easy readability, with a stay-open hidden spiral for ease of use, and with 30 projects designed by over-50-year-olds for their peers, Never Too Old to Knit will reach this eager, untapped market. It includes a discussion--with medical statements from experts--of knitting’s many health and stress-relief benefits; the therapeutic advantages range from increased mental and creative stimulation to an improved social life as knitters gather together to work and chat. Clearly illustrated instructions present all the basics, from casting on to completing simple garments, so both novice and returning knitters can start stitching immediately. And because more-advanced techniques are covered too, the book becomes a valuable reference as skills improve. The appealing--and portable--projects all feature beautiful colors and textures, yet none are very difficult to complete.

I had to tape several pages where they pulled away from the spine. The patterns are suitable for all knitters. Some are basic and others require skills such as cables.
The photography is gorgeous. This is a well loved knitting book and I’ve made MANY of these beautiful patterns. A must for Outlander fans.

A scarf is a great beginner project, but the wide variety of patterns in Just Scarves ensures that even the most seasoned crafter will create something new and exciting. With so many options for men and women's styles, wearing (and making!) scarves will be a yearlong passion.

The first chapter in the book, "Easy Does It," focuses on honing basic techniques. Once those are mastered, knitters are introduced to specialized styles such as cables, granny squares, lace, and shaping. Each of these is given a new spin with fresh patterns and beautiful colors. There are also wonderful chapters on "Reversible Scarves" that look great no matter which way they're tied and "Fabulous Scarves" that can be worn like jewelry. The final chapter is dedicated to fun finishes, which will help crafters make sure each creation is as unique as possible.

With stylish full-color photography, a bold design, Lion Brand's excellent reputation, and Nancy Thomas's keen eye, Just Scarves promises to be a fun, fashionable collection of classic and contemporary patterns.
