Knitgrrl

I found this book at work and bought it with the intent that it would be for my girls {ages 9 & 10} . After looking through it, I can see that it's geared more for teenagers than preteens, but it's still a very valuable resource. This book covers all the basics, without getting into a lot of detail that can put off the new knitter. Everything from choosing suitable yarns, progressively more challenging patterns, felting, basic finishing, and even care of completed projects is covered. The entire focus of the book is to make knitting interesting and fun. Most well-experienced knitters will not get much out of this book, but it's a great purchase for those that are teaching young people. The price is also a great deal... I paid a little more than $10 CAD. That's not much at all for a knitting book, and a great investment in teaching my girls a love of knitting and the fibres that go with it.
