Natural Nursery Knits: Twenty Handknit Projects for the New Baby

Natural Nursery Knits: Twenty Handknit Projects for the New Baby by Erika Knight
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin; Original edition | 2009 | ISBN-10: 0312592973 | 144 pages | English | JPG | 39 MB

Knitting books have a tendency to make their projects look lovely (hence the shock for some knitters when their version of the item is finished). But the presentation of these 20 projects is so luminous and lovely, this can be paged through with appropriate oohs and aahs even if one is not a knitter. Veteran knitter Erika Knight has taken the purest of yarns, bamboo, milk cotton, baby alpaca, among others, and then paired them with adorable designs, starting with the cover shot of a baby wearing a cloche hat decorated with a small flower. The book begins with an introduction to the yarns and natural dyes that may be used with them, then moves on to pages of beautiful color photographs reminiscent of the evocative Laura Ashley–style books. Every bootie and blanket looks like it belongs in an old English garden. The projects themselves have lots of appeal, and the instructions are clear. Any baby who gets one of these knits is a lucky ducky
