Lovely Little Knits for Girls – Book Review | Celtic Cast On

I recently had the chance to review a sweet knitting book called Lovely Little Knits for Girls by Vibe Ulrik Sondergaard  I must admit I was intrigued by this book when I saw the title and read that it was for older children.  Lots of patterns go up to size two and then stop but this book contains 20 knitting patterns geared towards toddlers to seven year olds.

It’s always so nerve racking when you gift a knit like this hoping that the recipient who ends up with it will like it.  Michelle liked it so much she traded for it!!  There was of course… Read More »Courtenay Reworked | Celtic Cast On
