ReplyDeleteI know just two stiches but do enjoy knitting. I keep trying to get to the knitting store near me to pick up new yarn and sign up for a class. Would love to make a hat.
The hat design is just gorgeous! You must be one proud mama. I wish them much success with the book.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could knit. That's something I always wished I let my grandmother show me.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Congrats to your daughter....and I wish that I could knit. I tried once....and maybe if I had persisted, things would have worked out. But alas, I did not. That was one lumpy sweater! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Here's MY WOW POST and
MY WEBSITE
This is so very cool, and even though I am not a knitter, I may have to grab a copy of this book to show my support. Awesome news!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I plan to rediscover my love of knitting this winter...this may be just the place to start. Congratulations to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news, Diane! Congratulations to your daughter and her co-author. I love the hat on the cover....perfect timing here anyway, since the temps are supposed to drop 20 degrees in a couple of days!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Congratulations to your daughter - she's obviously very talented!
ReplyDeleteI don't knit, but if I did, a hat would be on my list. How difficult are these for a beginner?
ReplyDeleteI have my grandmother's supplies (mainly for the cute container she kept them in, which I now use for magazines) :)
And I should have read closer...didn't realize one of the authors was your daughter! How exciting...congrats to her!
ReplyDeleteA big congrats to your daughter that is such good news. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!! Now, if she could just come and teach me how to knit then my day would be made!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! ☺ This is one great gift for all crochet enthusiasts. I would like to but I've forgotten how to read the diagrams and I think I also need that desk lamp magnifier as my eyes are not what they used to be. lolz.
ReplyDeleteHw awesome for you and your family! If I could knit I'd pick it up. Love that het on the cover.
ReplyDeleteHope she sells lots :)
I don't blame you for being excited! That's really wonderful. I wish I knew how to knit. Maybe someday . . .
ReplyDeleteI did not realize your daughter was a knit designer! (I'm a HUGE knitter, and definitely need to add some of my knitting fun to my own blog!) This one looks great; I'll be on the lookout for it!
ReplyDeleteHow very cool and exciting! Best of luck to your daughter!
