baby, you got it

Posted on annePosted in book reviews/events

we took off this weekend for annapolis, MD, where my dear nephew james is marrying his lovely fiancée diana this evening. this is a wonderfully happy opportunity for our whole family to get together—since we are spread fairly far and wide, that doesn’t happen often enough it seems.

anyway, in order to spend the most time possible with them, i thought i would take a few days off from the blog. but not without a treat for you! a book giveaway is in order, yes?

and since labor day is nearly upon us, i have just the thing (and this is in no way a nudge to the newlyweds!)

in the same vein as the wonderful 60 quick knits book, sixth&spring books has brought us another treasure trove of fun projects in cascade 220—this time, for babies in 60 quick baby knits.

this one is a total cute fest for us knitterly suckers—in the best possible way. with all manner of baby projects represented from blankets to sweaters to last minute scene-stealers

this book has it all. and if that wasn’t enough, every project presented is knit up in cascade 220 (or 220 superwash if you will), a perennial favorite among knitters for its nice hand, color range, versatile weight, and the fact that it is very readily available at an economic price.

there is a very decent representation of projects in each category, requiring a range of skill levels and time investment. this is one of the best things about the book—if you are learning to knit, there is something for you.

and if you’ve been knitting for years, but forgot about that baby shower you are attending this weekend, there’s something for you, too (i think this is my favorite thing in the book, hee-hee!). the accessory projects are too adorable—but many are quick knits, you can be sure.

and for planners, there are possibilities galore as well—several more intricate and amusing blankets are included.

which is not to say it’s all about blankets—i would never stop the baby parade there, haha. the book includes a number of really cute sweaters and garment sets.

being the aunt of many more boys than girls, i’m particularly happy about the number of truly handsome sweaters included for little guys

some with sleeves and some without; many with deeply-textured cables.

most are also unisex, if you’d like to knit one for that special little girl in your life. and if you’d like to knit something for a baby whose sex is as yet undetermined, there is plenty to choose from there

for me, the real fun begins with the accessories (i know you know what i mean, haha)

there is a hat to suit any mood you want to strike, from seriously handsome . . .

to traditional to super cute and amusing (see my fave above). feet and hand accessories are not lacking either

there are plenty of items here to use up the last of that project yarn or to make a nice smaller gift.

now here’s the best part—sixth&spring has generously offered to send one lucky reader of today’s review a gift copy of 60 quick baby knits. if you’d like to be in the running to win it, please leave a comment at the end of this post by 9pm EST on sunday, september 4th. we’ll announce the winner as soon as i can after that (we should be home on monday, but you never know!).

have a wonderful weekend!

  1. Oh those patterns are so darling and just right for lil’ darlings! What a treat to be able to knit those! Linda

  3. Those patterns are just so cute! I have two grandchildren that are just turning one this fall and I’d love to knit a few of these for them. Now if the granddaughter would just move back to Virginia from Thailand where she will need some warm knits!

  4. Oh my gosh! Those are totally adorable. I usually find baby patterns a bit too ‘twee’ for my taste, but I love each and every one of those patterns. And I’d totally make that hedgehog blanket for myself. And an officemate is having a boy in October – the vest would be perfect. Must have this book! Thanks for highlighting it.

  5. Wow, I can’t believe that right now I’m the first. Of course by the time I get done typing I might not be. This book would be so perfect for me. One grandson and another grandchild on the way. My daughters are going to keep Nana busy unfortunately one is in Washington state and other currently in Germany and I’m in Nevada. So I get to spoil long distance. The girls have a long list of knitting projects that are needed for the baby and the other coming. My grandson Hudson has your Honeybaby and the expectant baby is getting Rosebuddie. My favorite blankets made with Kim’s yarn. Perfect combination. Thanks for the great patterns and have fun at the wedding.

  6. Some of the ideas look really cute! I would love to be in the running to win the book. I haven’t used Cascade 220 yet but my daughter and her friends are all in the wedding / baby part of their lives and I’m pretty sure they prefer baby items that are washable.

  7. I would love this book! but maybe you should slip it in the wedding gift.
    If they don’t know how to knit they could at least pick what they wanted for the future

  10. There are some adorable projects in there! With the younger members of my extended family reaching adulthood (not to mention many of my former students, already starting families!), I will definitely need ideas and patterns for quick but cute gifts. This book appears to be just the thing!

  13. OMG! I have % new babies just born or on the way in my family and have been knitting as fast as I can but am getting tired of the same old patterns I would LOVE LOVE LOVVVVE to win this book!!! You always have such awesome stuff on this website. I learn so much from you! Thank you so much Anne! You are totally my knitting crush!! 🙂

  16. What adorable patterns. Just make you want to knit for a baby, any baby if you don’t have any in your family. Seven grandchildren and no little ones yet. What is a grandmother to do!

  17. I have a new grandson due the end of November…to join my other 4 grandchildren all under the age of 3! I would love to win this!!

  18. Hope you have a wonderful time with your family, Anne! And thank you for the opportunity to acquire this adorable book!

  22. oh what sweet patterns in that book! I used to pooh-pooh knitting for babies because I am a slow knitter and feared they would out-grow what I had knit in less time than it had taken me to knit the project (hope that sentence makes sense). however with a couple of great-nieces on the scene and a great-nephew soon to arrive, I have discovered how quick baby sized items really are. Would love to be the winner of that book!

  23. boy, i’d regift this immediately to my oldest daughter, who is trying to have her first child, my first grandchild. what a great book, going on my amazon list regardless.

  25. So many cute things! I just love the mittens on strings, reminds me of the one I had when I was little. This book looks fabulous. Have a wonderful time with the family.

  27. This book is wonderful. Even if I don’t win, I have to have a copy! Have a great weekend, there isn’t anything better than spending time with our family.

  31. Thats the book. I was in BN and the lady thought I was crazy since she could not find the book in the system.

    It would be perfect for my little bundle to be (due feb) =)

    Anne, I have to say your patterns are amazing. I get comments all the time on how amazing they are. My next project (if baby brain lets me) if fireflies!

  32. I’m not close to having a baby, but lots of my friends are. We’re getting to *that* age, and all. This would be a great book to have on hand! Thanks for the giveaway!

  33. I would love a copy of this book. I have 2 kids under 2 and have several family members and friends expecting soon. I’m always looking for a fun baby knit. I really like the pink/purple/orange blanket!

  34. Oh My! Just in the pictures you’ve posted, I see at least a half dozen projects that would be perfect for the crop of babies that will be appearing in the next few months. Thanks for highlighting this book, and have a wonderful time with your family.

  35. My first baby niece was born in May and I’m already stressing about what to make her for Christmas. This book looks like it would be perfect!

  39. Oh, I need this! I just found out that I’m expecting a new grandchild in April! These patterns are wonderful!

  40. My family is expecting the first child of the new generation (first great grandchild for my mother, my brother’s first grandchild) in October. The pending arrival has already got me (re)started on kid knits and these patterns are soooooooo smart!

  41. This would be perfect–my firefighter nephew and his fiancé are expecting a little girl at the end of October.

  46. A good friend is expecting her first child after years of trying. I’d like to make this pregnancy special for her and knit her up baby items from the book. Thanks for this great give-away!

  48. I have no idea why I don’t have this book – I have seen it praised on so many blogs and so many beautiful creations made from it. I would love to own it! Thanks so much for the giveawa, Ann, and hope you have a wonderful blessed time with your family at the wedding!

  52. Oh gosh. My queue is growing! I could so happily make just about everything in that book! And there are so many babies arriving in my circle these days!

  53. What a terrific looking book!
    I have a brand new (grand-baby) in the family… so I’m sure his mama will enjoy these lovely items to dress him in!

    Hope you have a wonderful celebration with your family 🙂

  55. looks like great patterns….. Would love to do any one or all of them….. hope you enjoyed your weekend

  56. I love the baby items. My friends are starting to become Grandparents-no such luck here yet-so I would love to be able to knit some of these things.
    Have fun at the wedding.

  59. Great timing! I was just told this week that I’m going to be a Godmomma again. I’m looking for baby projects! I’d love a copy of the book.

  66. I love love this book! There are so many people having babies in my life, this would be a great help. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  68. This book looks like it is right up my alley – between friends and family I have 7 babies to knit for right now – never mind the kids that are already born…

  69. I have a couple of new babies in my life, would like to try some of these patterns for them. Great pictures and cute patterns.

  73. When I first saw this give-away I was thinking I didn’t know any babies – but I do, and these are all darling. I used to do blankets just to have in a hurry and have stopped, time to start again…..still have plenty of yarn, too, including 220.
    Thanks for the opportunity! Enjoy your weekend, hope it cooler there!

  74. Enjoy the wedding – the book here is so cute. A good friend is having a girl in November, so I’m getting ready to start knitting all the cute baby things!

  75. I am missing a great baby knitting book from my library, and I am also getting to the age where there are more and more babies in my life. I would love to knit up gifts from this book!

  77. I would love, love, love this book! I have two grandsons, aged 3 & 1 and I would love to knit them something from this book. I adore the hat and the hoodie!
    Have fun!

  78. I love these patterns. I have two babies to knit for and these patterns are quick and easy. Love the hat.

  80. Anne, thank you for a great review; I’ve added this book to my wishlist for sure (win or lose). My partner and I are in the “dreaming and planning” stage of having our baby, and I am fast-compiling a list of must-knits to get ready. The sheep blanket is definitely going on that list!

  83. This book has been on my wish list for a long time. I especially love the sheep hat (not shown), my sister desperately wants me to upsize it for her 🙂 Thanks for hosting this great give-away.

  85. Celebrating a happy event with your family: that’s the perfect way to spend this long weekend. Enjoy!
    So many lovely things in there! The hat with pleats and a bow is adorable. The babies in our family aren’t babies anymore, but I guess little ones should start popping up in our circle of friends sooner or later…

  86. Baby…..Baby…..Oh Baby……………… Pick me! Would love to win it………. a labour of love!

  92. Enjoy the wedding! Thanks for a lovely giveaway. There are some adorable things in the book, but that blanket just takes my breath away!

  94. I have seen this book in my lys and would love to have a copy. Thanks for a fun contst. Enjoy the wedding!

    Lynn

  97. Thanks for reviewing that book. I’m going to head to the store to get it unless I’m lucky enough to win the available copy.

  98. Congratulations to your Nephew. Many blessings in the years ahead. You will be in my neck of the woods. Enjoy the sights if you have time. We are finally just about done with all the clean up from Irene. Power and all. What a cute book! I think it was an old jump rope song… first comes love, then come marriage, then comes ” ” with a baby carriage. 🙂 Safe travels.

  99. I love the blanket with the fuzzy sheep. And what perfect timing, my nieces and nephews will be visiting this weekend with a total of 5 great (or is it grand?) nieces and nephews all under the age of 2! I NEED this book.

  101. My son is obsessed with hedgehogs – that hedge blanket would be a perfect a Christmas gift! I see lots of holiday gift giving potential in this book, in fact.

  102. Happy Labor Day Anne and David! Best wishes to the newlyweds! Thanks, as always for a great give-away.

  105. I love the look of these , especially for me, a knitter who is not advanced. (But I am a wannabe!) The designs have personality and look so fun and quick to do. I am working on a little hoodie now – I would love the variety in this book.

  106. happy labor day weekend! heading off camping ourselves this evening! Another great giveaway! i have started knitting fun baby things and utting them away in a someday gramma box, lol, not that i am giving her any ideas…. yet! (lol, maybe in ten years!)

  107. This would be a great reference book to have on hand when a request for baby stuff comes my way! So cute!!

  111. I am at the age where I have friends popping out adorable babies to knit for left and right. I love it, but could use the variety this book would provide.

  113. I could always use a new book of baby knits! I’m getting to that age where all my friends are having babies… Thanks for having the giveaway!

  116. With all the babies happening around me, I REALLY need this book. Projects look absolutely precious. So sweet of you to have this giveaway. Sign me up please.

  117. These are adorable! I always seem to have a baby shower to go to, and these patterns would do nicely.

  118. My “nesting” instincts have been kicking in and while my grandkids aren’t even married yet I am knitting things for my ‘hope’ chest for these great grandbabies…just finished a Rosebuddie blankie in the same yarn & color that Anne used.

  119. I have and love this book…but wonder if anyone else has had problems with the cascade superwash. I find that it does not hold up well with hard baby and tot use…very disappointing. That said I will keep knitting from these great patterns, just with another yarn

  122. The patterns look adorable! I am always way too tempted by projects that require way too much care for brand new parents. I would love to knit some of the projects for my cousins’ babies!

  124. Wow, what an adorable book of baby things! Love those shoes with the pink flowers. They’re my favorites. But I’ve always had a thing for shoes.

    Hope your nephew has a wonderful wedding and a happy marriage, Anne.

  128. 3 co-workers expecting babies between now and February. And I’m only on shawl #8 for 11 in ’11. Yikes! Need this book!

  129. This has so many fun projects! My fingers are itching to start something! Thanks for the opportunity!

  132. I’m in love with the hedgehog blanket! It looks like a nice book. Thanks for giving us a chance to win it.

  135. I have had my eye on this one…all my friends are busy having little ones and it becomes a challenge to figure out what to knit for birthdays and Christmas because I haven’t found a good children’s pattern book to invest in!

  139. I have a new niece on the way and so I have a new baby to knit for and therefore would love that book. Cascade 220 in the stash and ready to go.

  140. Oh, my gosh! I see about 10 projects I want to do just in this review! Pick me, pick me!

  142. The book looks great! My niece and nephew would be adorable in so many of those things.
    Enjoy the wedding and family!

  143. Talk about inspiration! This book makes me itch to get back to knitting for my little niece, Genevieve Hope. So far I’ve knit Baby G two sweaters and a stocking cap but these blankets and sweaters look divine and very knittable. They’d be fun to knit during all those upcoming television football games. Knitting and footbal games. All part of autumn in my household.

  146. My first grandson was born at 25 weeks gestation seven weeks ago. He is now thriving and I am ready to start knitting for him in earnest. This book looks wonderful. It was good to meet you at Sock Summit.

  147. The book looks wonderful…. I hope I win…this would be a wonderful gift for a knitting friend…..

  149. It is definitely a must have book. Quick knits, but so cute. Glad to see those knits for boys. As the aunt of 4 boys, it’s been difficult to find patterns to knit up for them.

  150. This book couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. I found out yesterday I will be a grandmother for the 2nd time, I can’t wait.

  151. I love gift knitting, especially for babies. They look adorable in anything which can be very forgiving to a hand knit piece. I would love to add this book to my “last minute baby gift ideas” collection.

  152. Looks like this book is full of super cute baby things! While I have my own tried and true baby favorites, it’s nice to try out some new projects, too – I’d love to add this to my library!

  154. What a fabulous book. I am waiting for a new neice or nephew and it has some wonderful options!!

  159. Wow, so many cute things in that book. That would be great for when my brothers decide to start families!

  162. Perfect! I have a 1 month old grandson! And I bet with just a little adjusting, I could even manage to make something for my 2 yr old granddaughter. Pick me, please!

  163. Hi Anne,
    Looks like a great book! Your reviews never fail to be thorough and entertaining. Thanks so much for taking the time to hold the give-away, and the chance to win.

  165. Our family is getting ready for a new baby. This would be perfect! I have a couple things in mind, but I could use some more ideas.

  167. I have 4 babies to make things for this winter…the pics alone gave me so many lovely ideas! Thank you!

  169. These patterns look great, and they’d be super fast to work up in Cascade 220. And, what a coincidence! My nephew’s getting married next weekend.

  171. I love this book! I have so many cousins (and future cousins and nieces and nephews and perhaps even my own children) that I could make these projects for! Love!

  172. Just having had a baby, I want this book! If I don’t win it, I’m going to my LYS to buy it!

  173. What a great book! I could make good use of it with all the babies coming along in our family.

    Enjoy the long celebratory family weekend!

  174. LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! I’m all about the baby knits. Gonna have to add this one to my collection of books if I don’t win it. Thanks!

  175. Each and every pattern is so adorable. And I have 3 co-workers due in the next 2 months. Would love to have a chance to win this book.

  181. I would love to have a copy of this book! So many cute things! I enjoy your blog! Have a great weekend!

  182. LoveloveLOVE the porcupine blanket! And looking through the patterns on Ravelry, I see a sheep hat as well… So cute! Even if I don’t win your giveaway (which I hardly ever win things like this, so I probably won’t) this book will find it’s way into my library somehow, I’m sure of it.

  185. So adorable! I’m imagining yarn choices already – I love baby knits. Have a wonderful time at the wedding!

  186. I have grandchild #13 on the way and 9 of them are girls. I would LOVE to own this book. Anne, I love the blogspot and HAD to buy the Leafing sweater pattern from Twist. You design such beautiful things and thankfully, many of them are sized for me, too.

  187. This book is already on my wish list – now that I can see all the great projects I am really ready to start knitting even more baby things

  188. This book looks wonderful – so many very cute patterns. I would love to be the winner. Thank you for the opportunity.

  189. oh. my. goodness!! what cute patterns – i especially love the white hat w/ pink ribbon – gaaaa – the cuteness!!!!!

    blessings for a peace-filled weekend 🙂

  190. My daughter just got married in July and a number of her friends are expecting so this book would be incredible for me to knit many gifts.

  196. I would love this book- my whole family and friend is reproducing like crazy and I could use some different patterns to share at all the upcoming showers. I hope I win!!

  198. I’ve seen this book in person and it really is fabulous. Whoever wins it will be very lucky indeed; thanks for offering it!

  200. This book looks perfect for me-I’m a grandma and aunt with lots of little guys I love to knit for

  202. I absolutely love Cascade 220 Superwash, I use it all the time for adults and children, always a favorite around here…..and what’s even better, a book to match.

  203. I love this book! I have no babies to knit for right now, but the patterns look wonderful for charity knitting, too!

  205. I love this!!! And have lots of babies to knit for! My mom started a tradition of knitting (usually a blanket) for babies to be born, she said that babies needed to be wrapped in love. Mom is in her 80s and isn’t able to knit as much so I’m trying to keep up the tradition so this would be a great addition to my library. Have a great holiday!

  206. What a great book! You are right in my neck of the woods this weekend!! I live in Baltimore:) Hope you have a great weekend with family.

  209. I hope you have a wonderful, safe and blessed weekend trip with your family. I would love to win this book as I’ve just had news that there will be 2 new babies in my very extended family within the next 8 months and I’m at a loss for original and cute patterns, and of course who doesn’t love to knit with Cascades 220! Enjoy the wedding and safe travels.

  210. I keep looking at this book and knowing that I would love it as I have the Cascade book that it mainly hats and love it. We have 3 little ones I knit for and one on the way and I love knitting for my grandbabies and grandbabies in law. It is so much fun. Cascade has some of the best yarns to work with. Thank you for the chance and have a great time with family it is so nice when you can get together.

  211. The daughter of my dear neighbor is having a baby. It would be fun to have some new patterns. Enjoy Annapolis. Those of us nearby in other bits of Maryland are sorry not to see you.

  212. I have several grand babies and knit for all of them. Would love to try some of the patterns in this wonderful book. Thanks for the giveaway.

  213. Weddings! My younger son was married two weeks ago and already I am thinking of baby knits!

  218. What a wonderful book. The timing is perfect for me as we just found out we are having another baby in our family! It’s been 5 years since our last baby arrived and the entire family is thrilled! Have a wonderful and safe time this holiday weekend.

  219. Hope you enjoy the wedding! Would love to win this book as I have so many babies to knit for at the moment. In fact, may need to buy if I don’t win, so please save me 🙂

  221. This book looks beautiful! I’m not into the baby-knitting stage of my life yet, but several friends are engaged, so I’m hoping that in the next 5 years or so, I can have a reason to make beautiful little sweaters like this.

  224. I would love that book! I have a million babies to knit for, and we’re hoping to start number two of our own soon! Love your blog!

  228. I absolutely love this book. There are so many adorable projects. Thanks for a chance to win this book. Have a wonderful weekend with your family!!!

  230. 2 one-year-old grandbabies – I could really use this book! Thank you for posting this; I think I’d better buy it mid-week if I don’t win it. I love knitting for little ones because things knit up so quickly and you can take on fiddly projects without committing to several weeks of work!

  231. congratulations to the newlyweds! I tell you, this book is timely – I know 3 people at work who are expecting, one of these SIL is expecting, etc…. what was going on last April?? 🙂

  232. What an appealing book. Thanks so much for offering, especially in the middle of this special weekend.
    Enjoy your time with family and friends

  233. Very cute baby projects in that book. Thanks for the give away. Have a great visit with family and friends.

  235. The book is wonderful. So many great ideas. Loved it.
    I would be delighted to have it sent my direction. Thanks

  237. My current knitting cycle is lace becuase I love it and baby knits because I love to gift my friends who are becoming grandmothers with something warm and cuddly for the new love in their life.
    We are also in the “wedding mode” in our home as our son is getting married on September 23 so best wishes to you and your family as you spend this special weekend together!

  238. There’s suddenly an influx of babies to knit for in my life, and I would really love a copy of this on my bookshelf!

  240. Hey Anne: Have lost touch for a little while, but always follow your blog. I have heard so much about this book and would love to add it to my collection! Enjoy your family get together. These occasions are so precious.

  242. OMG i love knitting for babies and it seem we always have some one important to us having babies!!!!! this book would be a wonderful edition to everyone’s knitting library especially mine 🙂

  243. Oh, yes – knitted things for boys! As a first time grandmother – of a boy – I can’t wait to check this out!

  244. Have two babies on the way!!! One girl, for sure. We’re hoping for a boy, reeeealy hoping for a boy, too. Could use some ideas for gifts.

  245. Finally – a baby knit book that I would buy that has more than one project I would knit. I am sure that the girls at work would love a knitted gift for their newbies or maybe when my daughter decides to have a baby I can keep the baby well-wooled and help my own addiction in the meantime…

    If I don’t win – let me know where to buy it – love it!

  281. I love the simplicity of baby knits. At the same time, they’re small, so they’re a great way to try something new!

  305. Hope you have a lovely week-end with family and friends. Weddings are such wonderful celebrations. This is a fabulous looking book which I would love to own. From your pictures I see several projects I would cast on immediately!

  308. Lovely patterns! Happy weekend!

    F/Y/I — a lot of my lys will no longer be carrying Cascade 220 (regular), as there was a significant price increase, and they all will be carrying a different workhorse yarn — the skeins went from less than $6 to almost $10 retail — a huge jump. Sad; it is a great work-a-holic yarn.

  311. Looks like a great book, and I have a baby project to choose in the new few days. Perfect timing!

  312. This book looks incredible – and I’m expecting another new niece in February. Perfect timing!

  314. That is so dangerously cute. I mean for goodness’s sake! there is a sheep hat in there that even I must have.

  315. I love the projects that you featured. What beautiful blankets – I’ll have to knit at least one!

  317. Such absolutely gorgeous knits. I would be beside myself knitting for my grandbabies if I had this book!! Oh wait. That would make two of me knitting. Even better! Thanks for this opportunity to win!!

  318. There are some great little patterns in there.

    Another friend has just announced a pregnancy, thats 5 in 2 years I have had to knit for! This book is just what I need :0

  319. I’ve been eying this book for some time now and have it on my ‘wish’ list. I have two new grandchildren and lots of small knitting going on here 🙂

  320. Omg I have a niece and nephew that I love to knit for! I always have trouble finding something to nice to knit for them though!

  325. It looks like we’re having a lovely weekend here in MD, wishing the newlyweds much happiness!

    We have a family wedding come up next month — hmmmm, if I won this book, I could be (for once) starting to plan ahead?

  326. Looks like some great ways to use up a little stash! What a nice way to clear out more space for new stash.

  329. Happy wedding,……oh how I would enjoy this book!,…..several new little ones that I know of that are coming along soon………

  332. Very best wishes to your nephew and his new bride!
    I’d love to add this book to my collection. I still have a number of grandchildren who could wear these. PLUS my youngest is getting married 3 weeks from today and that means even more grandchildren!!

  333. Ooh gorgeous patterns – for some reason I never managed to finish anything for my baby, but am now finally catching up and knitting for friends’!

  334. Anne, I hope you have a great time this weekend — and I love the baby book projects! I also like the idea that I could maybe finish such a project before the baby goes off to college . . .

  335. Wonderful patterns. If I don’t win the book I will surely purchase it.
    Thanks! Enjoy your long weekend.

  336. I feel the same as the last comment. If I dont win it , I will purchase it .Love knitting baby “things”. Thanks Anne for the opportunity.

  340. I hope you have a wonderful weekend with the extended family!

    (And I would love to win the book – we’ve had 14 babies at my office in the last 18 months, with 4 more on the way later this year, and it would be nice to have a few new gift ideas.)

  342. I just got married a year ago and would love to have a book like this to prepare!!! Happy Labor day and congratulations to the happy couple, may they have a beautiful day on which to celebrate!

  345. It wasn’t until I saw the drawing that I realized how long it’s been since I commented! What an adorable book. With two friends expecting, I’m in dire need of projects I have half a chance of completing in time. 🙂

  347. What a lovely book. I’m expecting and after a first trimester where I seriously lost my knitting mojo, I am now feeling better and looking for cute projects to knit.

  348. This would be great timing — I, too, have a family wedding within the week and my brother informed us that they’re hoping to have children right away, so that means lots of knitting baby-things!

  349. Would love a chance to win this book. Thank-you!
    This summer has been all about weddings for this family – my son’s. What great fun it has been with family and friends.

  355. Gorgeous photographs! Those alone get me excited about making a beautiful blanket and hat for my niece’s expected one. Too bad my favorite knit shop isn’t open this Labor Day weekend.

  357. This looks like a great book…just the thing as there are a couple of developing humans in the works that I must knit for!

  360. This book is calling my name! My 9 month old daughter needs some new knitwear for Fiber Fest season!

  361. Hope you enjoyed the wedding, and thanks for the giveaway! Just the thing as I’m looking for baby patterns – a friend’s just given birth 🙂

  363. Have great fun at the wedding! Congratulations to the bride and groom!! With twin girl Grandbabies arriving in Decmeber this would be a great addition to my book collection! 😀 I already have 6 yr old twin boy grandsons and another grand-daughter. Oh man, I have a lot of knitting to do before Christmas!! Happy knitting everyone 😀

  368. Looks like a fun book….I am expecting grandbaby #5 as we speak, so I could use some baby knitting patterns!

  382. Am I too late and a dollar short. Oh well. Now I know about the book at least. Love your patterns Ann. I am working on the apple blossom scarf/shawl that was in Twist.
