Review "Basic but never boring, these styles are classic enough to stand the test of time yet have enough of a modern edge to guarantee a heavy rotation in your everyday wardrobe." -- Knit Simple Magazine " Family-Friendly Knits is packed full of wonderful, giftable items to make. Plus some wonderful, comfy winter items." --Yarn Yenta "I recommend this book because it bills itself as 'seasonal knitted garments and accessories for children and adults.' In other words, it covers everybody... Spainhower has a particularly unique way of solving the problem of dreading knitting the second sock when you're making a pair...she knits one sock cuff down, then attaches some waste yarn at the toe, then knits the second sock toe up." -- My Central Jersey's "In Stitches" column About the Author Courtney Spainhower is a stay-at-home mom, knitting instructor, and the lady behind Pink Brutus Knits (pinkbrutus.com). She has designed for Interweave Knits, Knitscene, Creative Knitting, HollaKnits.com, Infinite Twist, and the Sydney Opera House Wardrobe Department.
