I don't really know of any good books off hand (my grandma taught me how to knit and crochet) but http://about.ca/ has a lot of good info, stitch glossaries/tutorials and a kick-butt newletter.
I tried to learn to knit a few days ago....it's just not happening. Well, it is, but I am so bad at it. I think for now I will stick to crochet....been doing that since I was 7. love all your creations knitin.chick
Kniting will come with time. When I first learned how to knit, I had the tension so tight most of the stuff I made could stand up on it's own! lol
I finished up this little cap not so long ago. I love it when kids wear cabby caps This is 100% acrylic. I used a baby yarn that's kind of sparkley and super soft!
very cute, the colors are beautiful and real fun. Do you think you will be doing any custom orders again soon, last time I looked your site said that you weren't
Thanks so much everyone I've been all hats lately. Right now I'm working on a set of legwarmers....just to do something a little out of the norm.
