This book is designed to help the knitter not only create an object but to benefit personally from the creation. There is a nice variety of patterns, from baby clothes to pillows. I have made several pairs of the "Wisps of Mist Wrist Warmers".

This book has some nice patterns and advice for using knitting as a type of meditation. Try it if you like your knitting with a New Age twist.

Great little gifts to knit for babies and little dogs.
