I didn’t make my goal of 40 books by August 31, but that’s OK. I got pretty close. I did finish my bonus goals, which was good. I knitted while reading a couple books.

Family Circle Easy Knitting, Fall 2004


01.Sep.06 ~ 1:13 pm

I liked the dressy V-neck sweaters shown on Pages 46-47, Patterns 12, 13, and 14.

The Asian-inspired cardigan on page 53 (pattern 21) has a really nice flap, though I think I would prefer regular buttons, not ones crocheted with yarn to match.

Several cute baby or kids patterns (hats, cardi, and sheep blanket) included too. Patterns 26, 27, 28, 30 (baby), 36, 37, 38, and 39 (kids).
