on, with confidence and hope,
through all crisis.” -

Have you ever
brought your knitting along with
you to get you through, say, a
doctor’s appointment? Not just
because it passes the time in
the waiting room, but because it
provides something for your
mind to focus on in the midst of
stress and confusion?

 No
Sheep for You
Amy R. Singer
Reviewed by
Gail Castle. I have to admit
that I’m a knitting book junkie. I
love to explore the book shelves and
find the newest book, reveling in
the shiny, colorful cover and the
crisp, clean pages. Each book holds
the promise of an intriguing updated
pattern using one of the many
enticing yarns available today. But
beyond the actual patterns (I mean,
really – who can get to all of those
patterns in all of those books?) I
love to read the informational
tidbits before, beside and between
the patterns.
No
Sheep for You by Amy R. Singer
published by Interweave Press is
a new book that has plenty of
those little tidbits.

 The Yarn Girl’s Guide to Knits
for Older Kids
Julie Carles and Jordana Jacobs
Reviewed by staff member Dorie. My
initial impression of this book was
that it had more current styles, as
well as classic styles that should
appeal to many age groups.
