The Yarn Girls did another book signing for their latest & I thank them heartily! It’s The Yarn Girls Guide to Knits For Older Kids…thankyouthankyouthankyou! As the mother of an almost-eight-year-old son, not only are patterns hard to come by for this age group, but ones for boys? That are actually cute? Thankyouthankyouthankyou (which I said to them several times…they must think I’m nuts!) Read my full review here

This is great! I didn’t even know about this book until now, and I’m in the same boat as you… older boy, what to knit?
I just cast on for “The Juror” (under Basic Cardigans” in the book)….looooooove it! I am sooooo loving it. I’ll have to post pix of the color combo I chose. Hugs,M.
