before making most of the projects in this book. While I have no problems with having a few nice clothes for children, the reality is that that kids get dirty, and it will break your heart if many of these sweaters are ruined.

If you're the kind who gets portraits taken every year to send to relatives, the designs are pretty nice. Pass the sweater down every year to the next kid:)

The other items, hats, toys, etc, were okay, but nothing special.

Wonderful book for knitter's who are looking for something different! The book contains beautiful designs that are not the ordinary basic cable sweater or design dress. Projects include an american flag sweater, girls dress, even toys, which includes a huge horse to knit! Instructions are easy to understand and pictures are excellent! It is nice to have a collection of knits that are from other knitters out there instead of a magazine or book staff.
