Customer Reviews

Knits From the Heart , a keeper!

A great resource for ideas and patterns for essential knits. Whether you knit for charity, or just need ideas for yourself, this book has them. I just love the baby patterns in this book! Also a good reference for finding or developing charitable organizations to contribute to.

Still Using this Book

This was one of my first knitting books. The patterns are very easy to read and I have made many of the items found here. The baby rolled cuff hat, and baby booties are a staple for gifts now. The felted blanket, as another reviewer states, is too expensive for an animal shelter, but fabulous for a gift for my friend's new cat. I used the sock pattern for a while until I found some others that are written much clearer and easier. I wouldn't use this sock pattern again. Overall, worthwhile and I book I refer to.

Beautiful and Fun Projects

What could be a better combination than knitting and giving? If you have ever felt a little guilty for snuggling up for an extra hour or two with some yarn that you just had to have, now you can knit with conscience. The projects are cute, quick and fun to knit. The directions are clear. It's perfect for charity knitting (It even tells you which charities would like your gifts.) and children, teens and pets especially appreciate the projects.

Wonderful book!

I was hesitant about buying this book at first. I wasn't sure there would be any projects that I would enjoy, and so I put off purchasing it. I'm glad I finally got it! It's absolutely fabulous, filled with easy projects that are quick and attractive. I also liked that there are various charities listed that accept knitted items as donations. I highly recommend this book!

Easy to follow, great pics!

I'm a beginning knitter, and usually have trouble following a written instruction method - but Kristin write her book in a style that made it easy to follow, with basic explanations for each term used.I loved the bright colorful photos in the book, and thought that the array of patterns covered a lot of very useful ground! I especially liked the premise of the book, that the projects make great gifts (they do!) and that they're quick.Great job Kristin!
