Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

Knitting for Little Sweethearts by Hanne Andreassen Hjelmås Torunn Steinsland

  • Read in: English
  • Rating: —–
  • Genre(s): Craft

Note: I received an Advance Reading Copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review.

I love knitting, and knitting something that is useful. Knitting for the kids is nice, because it’s done quickly and they just look even cuter. The only thing is, the line between cute and old-fashioned with knitting is really thin. I found Knitting for Little Sweethearts by Hanne Andreassen Hjelmås and Torunn Steinsland from KlompeLOMPE and couldn’t resist.

The book contains a lot of patterns for kids from baby to early teens. There are hats, mittens, scarves, coats, tops, shorts, blankets and more. And they are all so cute. The designs are Scandinavian with lovely structures, pastel colors, and just general coziness. The patterns are well described in several sizes, with lots of information about yarn suggestions, gauge and notions. For some of the techniques there are video instructions on the site itself.

All in all this is a lovely book with patterns for kids, well described, well photographed and well designed.
