Well, the nights are drawing in and I'm thinking of picking up this again,
one day, it's going to be a jumper for Molly. I started it about a year ago,and anticipating my on/off relationship with knitting, I chose the bigger size, luckily.
For those of you without any projects to finish off (does such a person exist ?), I highly recommend this book.
ISBN 1 904485 30 8
There are lots of cute patterns to be found ( 23 to be precise ), for example,
flower posies,
dangerous dinosaur jumper,
butterfly bag,
pretty mice,
jumpers galore ( love the hedgehog, or hedgecodge, as Molly pronounces it ),
doggie hat and scarf,
happy kitties,
and birds ( who look like they've just deposited something on someone's head ). There are also more sweaters, hats, blankets, a jacket and stripy socks.
Amanda you HAVE to get it !
Oooh, i didn't realise you knit! I love the stripes, gorgeous colours.

Oh, thank you thank you for posting this today!! I love what I see. OF COURSE I *need* another knitting book!! Ha!! But I must get it anyway...
I'm totally drawn to the kitties and birds!! So cute. Abd perhaps if I start that jumper now, it would be done by the time Adelaide's four!
Thanks, Lyn!!!

Looks like a great book. Love the pictures you posted - especially the blue jumper with flowers (and hedgehog).

The animals are so cute - why is knitting so hard?!!! (Well, it obviously isn't for you, but it is for me!!)

You do such lovely work! So glad I came across you blog!

This book looks good!! But for me...knitting is sooo hard. I don't have patience.

This post may just push me over the edge! I am SO trying NOT to start a new hobby...it's not that I can't knit...it's that I have so many other things (mostly half-done) in front of me right now. This book though, has me looking for a hobby re-hab center to check into!

What a pretty jumper, beautiful colors. I am also knitting something two sizes too large for my daughter. I will have to look for the book, the projects don't look *terribly* hard.

You must absolutely finish this jumper, because the bright colors are beautiful and I think it would make Molly a very happy girl ;0)
The knittingbook is wonderfull and I would have love to knit some of the patterns but I'm afraid my kids are to old to wear those :0(
