Every Child has fantasies of being a queen, a princess, Robin Hood or maybe a pirate. Summer time is the perfect time to make a child's dream come true, in our featured book this week, Fairy Tale Knits by Alison Steart-Guinee, you can make this happen. This beautiful, lush book is filled with 32 projects to knit happily ever after.
       The very first project is a sky blue Snow Queen Coat that any little girl would love. It has a lovely lace pattern and clear instructions. It even comes with a little knit capelet and hand muff. The Little Red Riding Hood cape in red is perfect for the girl in your life. It is knit with a relatively simple lace pattern.  The Magic Carpet is adorable and can take your child to any destination of his dreams. It is knit in a colorful blue and green striped pattern with multi-colored triangle embellishments on the border. There are several pirate outfits for the guys, complete with skulls and crossbones. There's also a wonderful green Robin Hood jacket. I like that the book is balanced for gender - - outfits for both boys and girls.
        There are crowns galore - - for princes, princesses, kings and queens. The castle banner/valance is perfect for that magical bedroom, and there several wonderful accessories such as bags, holiday stockings and even a purse.
        Fairy Tale Knits includes a technique section that shows the various techniques and abbreviations used in the book. The project photographs are nicely done and each project includes a detail fairy tale introduction. This whimsical and lovely book would be the perfect addition to your knitting library.
