Family-Friendly Knits: Seasonal Knitted Garments and Accessories for Children and Adults - Softcover

"Basic but never boring, these styles are classic enough to stand the test of time yet have enough of a modern edge to guarantee a heavy rotation in your everyday wardrobe." --Knit Simple Magazine "Family-Friendly Knits is packed full of wonderful, giftable items to make. Plus some wonderful, comfy winter items." --Yarn Yenta "I recommend this book because it bills itself as 'seasonal knitted garments and accessories for children and adults.' In other words, it covers everybody... Spainhower has a particularly unique way of solving the problem of dreading knitting the second sock when you're making a pair...she knits one sock cuff down, then attaches some waste yarn at the toe, then knits the second sock toe up." --My Central Jersey's "In Stitches" column
