Great Little Gifts to Knit cover

Great Little Gifts to Knit: 30 Quick and Colorful Patterns by Jean Moss is a wonderful resource for more experienced knitters.  If you're still struggling with the concept of purl, this isn't the book for you, but if you have mastered the basic stitches, you will find lots to love in this little volume.  It contains a wide variety of patterns with great designs for babies, women, men, the home, and even the family dog. Some patterns utilize beads or specialty yarns, and put a new twist on several traditional forms such as mitts and the bolero. Beautiful color illustrations motivate the knitter to start casting on right away.  Directions are simple and easy to follow. An appendix of techniques is illustrated and easy to follow. This would be a nice addition to the more experienced knitter's collection.  

I would write more, but I feel the need to start one of these projects right now!
