Friendship Bracelet Patterns
I bought this book for my 11 year old granddaughter. She loves these Friendship Bracelets, as most of the kids do now. There are so many easy to follow patterns in this book! The supplies (embroidery thread and beads) are cheap. The instructions are very clear. Anyone can follow the patterns. She can't wait to make bracelets for her friends and cousins for Christmas gifts.

I Can't Believe I'm Lace Knitting (Leisure Arts #4466)
Kay Meadors, Leisure Arts

Leisure Arts, Inc, 2008

Usually the words lace knitting bring to mind images of the Victorian Era, Shetland shawls, thin knitting needles, and even thinner yarn. All these are a part of the history of lace knitting, but they are not necessary for learning the technique. Lace knitting may be done with ANY weight of yarn and any size of needles. Let Kay Meadors teach you about yarns, charts, tools, stitches, and helpful hints. Then with the patterns in this book, you ...

Leisure Arts did a great job on the project designs. They are more upscale and art oriented than I have experienced with their knitted designs historically. Good job!

Melissa Leapman; Leisure Arts

Leisure Arts, Inc., 2004

Sweaters to Crochet
I liked the patterns and the fact that it consistently carries sizes from Medium to 3X; however, I should mention that pattern #4 goes to 2X. The font size of the text in the book is easy on the eyes, so I don't have to squint, and the pictures are clear to me. The back of the book provides general instructions with regards to some terminology, hooks, abreviations, joining, weaving seams, the ...

I love Debbie Macomber books and her knit along with books. I read twenty wishes and I had to have the knit along to go with it. Love the book, but was disappointed she did not include any knitting pattern or recipe as she has in some of her other books, but the knit along book makes up for it.
