Mother-Daughter Knits, 30 Designs that Flatter and Fit

Mother-Daughter Knits

There are some books which I consider as basics.  Sally Melville has three of them:  Knit Stitch, Purl Stitch, and Color Book.

She has come out with another wonderful book.  For her comments, go here.



Knitted Jackets: 20 Designs from Classic to Contemporary  by Cheryl Oberle.

Knitted Jackets book

Cheryl is the author of Folk Vests and Folk Shawls.  Two other books that I have in my personal library.  And this book will be joining them.

Bad Penny   This shell would be charming knitted up in South West Trading Company Bamboo, Cascade Sierra Quatro, Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, or Brown Sheep Serendipity Tweed.

Gloria Cowl    Okay, I know that you want it to be spring, but there is still, sometimes, a need for something warm around your neck.  And this would be cuddly made up in Farmhouse Yarns Fannie's Fingering Weight or any of our other sock yarns.  Plus, add quick and easy.
 
And Dale of Norway's Baby Ull would make a cute Toadstool Baby Rattle.
