Book Review: "Knits From The Heart", By Kristin Spurkland
Simple projects, basic knitting techniques, and tips about wear, care and sizing, all make these patterns perfect for the beginning knitter, whether for gifts or charity.
Subtitled "Quick Projects for Generous Giving", "Knits From The Heart" has 17 projects the knitter can knit up quickly for gifts for family, friends and even pets. Special notes that insure successful gift giving include how to choose the best yarn and what projects are suitable for knitting in bulk for charity giving.
The projects are nothing special for the advanced knitter, but can come in quite handy for ideas for last minute gifts. Booties, hats, blankets, scarfs, felted puppets and pet blankets, mittens and Christmas stockings - no rocket science here, just basic, simple but attractive patterns. The book is complete with a list of charities that accept knitted items, and also ideas for knitting for silent auctions and raffles.
A handy book to have come December and the Christmas rush. Or, plan ahead and start early!
Baghaus - your one-stop shopping alternative to the pricey designer handbags that are the rage in the fashion world - and a dual purpose - you can use them as knitting bags!
