Love this books and designer

This is a fantastic book of great maternity and early motherhood clothes and stunning baby clothes as well. The only thing to note is to not order both this title and baby bloom as they are the same book under a different title and cover-otherwise inside they are exactly the same book. This book has some very quick and easy little baby items which can be completed in just a few hours through to more complex designs. I have made 3 of the designs in lesss than a week. The sweater from pages 20-21 took less than an evenings tv to make and looks great. The chunky zip up jacket from pages 32-33 which was very fast and easy and will layer up over the sweater for extremely cold weather. The lacy bonnet from pages 92-93, because i just couldn't resist it( hopefully 1 of the mums from playgroup will have little girl) and I have started the chunky tweed cardigan from pages 61-63 although I am making it in wool instead of cotton. This is all in less than 1 week so they are certainly quick and easy projects although there are others which would take longer. I would recommend this book to ANYONE who likes to knit for babies and the patterns for maternity are so stunning I will knit some for myself even though I am definitely not pregnant-LOL.

Beautiful book, and great projects too!

The photography inside this book is just stunning! And there are so many of the projects that I want to make. Plus, the designers have chosen some unusual colors for some of the baby projects which are incredible! Who would have thought of the color eggplant for a baby blanket, but WOW is it gorgeous! The maternity designs are elegant, and different. I plan to have another child soon, so I know I'll get a lot of use out of this book.

Elegant, beautful designs

Although my baby days are over, I loved this book. I was a little skeptical when I saw the title (let's face it most maternity clothes are not that great) but the patterns are beautiful and will make any mother to be feel wonderful and elegant. This book or making any of the patterns would make a perfect gift for the new mom.

LOVE THIS BOOK!

This is a beautiful book with great baby and mommy patterns. When I first got it I wanted to make everything at once! Knitting for Two and Erika Knight's other book, Simple Knits for Cherished Babies will keep me busy for months.

20 easy-to-complete designs for expectant mothers

Knitting for Two presents 20 easy-to-complete designs for expectant mothers and their soon-to-be born babies.

Intended for knitters of at least intermediate experience, the solid instructions walk one through the steps of the process in explicit detail for each inch of the measurement, though they are written in standard knitting shorthand. A materials list, techniques and tips section, recommended gauge, size list for the finished project, and more fill out this practical source of ideas and advice for soothing, enjoyable, and productive individual maternal activity.
