Ah well, let me first fess up and say that Loani and I go a long way back....a long way....she was my bridesmaid...my only bridesmaid...so I'm a bit biased. This book reminds me how deeply satisfying knitting can be and how clever and creative Loani can be ! Wanna find out more ? Go to her blog www.grandpurlbaa.com

It's not earth-shattering or mind-blowing. ... (show all) There will be no epipanies, no revelations. The world is not changed. So what is all the fuss about?

- Remember afternoon tea at Grandma's place? Sweet, milky tea and pink iced cupcakes; real china cups and saucers; silver spoons and linen napkins. She knew how to tame little monsters, just for a moment.
