I can remember sitting with my dear Grandma Mary on Sunday afternoons at her house surrounded by endless balls of yarn.
As I got older, I never lost that love of creating something meaningful with my own two hands. I loved making my own clothing, and gifts for others that you would never find in a big box store.
I can recall in my early twenties, when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, how I was determined to make her a baby blanket. I would work on it day and night, thinking about swaddling her chubby little arms and legs into the plush, soft, blanket that her mommy made by hand for her.
My daughter is preparing to move out on her own and she still has that pink and white blanket!
In this book, I hope to share this love of knitting with the world.
I will show you more advanced knitting techniques, so if you're just now starting out, I would suggest that you put this book down now, and grab a copy of my first knitting tutorial book in this "Knitting by Pictures" series.
