Book Reviews of New Knits on the Block: A Guide to Knitting What Kids Really Want

Book Review: Seriously awesome projects
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this book and so does my seven year old daughter. It is great for knitting things that are fun, fashionable and gifty. What little girl won't love the unicorn headband or the mermaid outfit? It's a great book for kids just starting to learn knitting as it gives them toys to knit instead of clothes.

For those of you out there who like the idea of wool but can't stand to have it shrink, think about superwash wool; Patons is available at national crafting chain stores, you can use a coupon and save 40 to 50% on materials. This wool can safely be machine washed in the gentle cycle, just lay flat to dry rather than throwing in the dryer.

Summary of New Knits on the Block: 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.
