Anderson's latest book hit newsstands in October and is loaded with more great patterns to knit for the little people in our lives. I love the plush peas and carrots pillows on page 90, cupcake baby hat on page 113, cupcake tea set on page 120, and the "Three Little Pigs" inspired pattern on page 155.
Anderson's patterns are great because she knits her
experience as a busy mother of four into her designs.
For example, on page 107 there's a pattern for an
attractive diaper bag that will serve a hip mama as a
fun tote for years after the baby graduates from
diapers. And if the "Plug Fairy" had not already made
a stop to collect all the pacifiers from my house,
I'd be knitting the adorable pacifier clips on page
98 because they're so much cuter than the ones you
can buy in the store.
So if you want to rock the next baby shower you
attend, pick up your needles and make a project in
this book. You will surely impress the mother-to-be
if you show up with a darling, handknit "garden mice
mobile" or a patchwork textured blanket. With 40
projects to pick from, there's likely something to
strike the fancy of most every knitter who loves to
knit for babes. The only disappointment is that I
don't have time to knit everything I like in the
book.
