it's a good one
Friday, July 23, 2010I honestly can not say enough great things about this book. I think it spent an entire week on my nightstand as I read it and enjoyed the photos before bed. Debbie Bliss could not have done a better job.
Not only are the patterns some of the cutest little knits I have ever seen, but the useful information in this book is beyond fantastic.
Filled with eighteen patterns including garments and accessories for babies and toddlers. (I would have SO been all over those top two sweaters for my Libby and the bottom two for my boys!)
She gives you the pattern and the knowledge and information on how to make it your own. You can sketch out your own design and implement it into the patterns provided. Or not. It is completely up to you. (Of course it is!)
And you guessed it. Tara over at SoHo publishing is offering this book to one of my readers. Leave me a comment between now and Monday the 26th at 12 pm EST and I will draw a name.

ReplyDeleteIsn't Debbie Bliss the BEST??!!!! I learned to knit from her Simply Baby book 3 winters ago and have devoured all of her books and magazines since. I am currently working on my first adult sized piece, the Cabled Gilet from her Spring/Summer mag which is a little scary because it is not child sized! Honestly, I have say this project is all thanks to your blog since you have given me such inspiration to knit something for myself. I am still in love with the orangey-red Vogue sweater coat you made awhile back. Oh magic random number picker, pick me!!
