Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Howell, the host of the DIY Network's Knitty Gritty series, has gathered together kid-pleasing projects from 12 knitwear designers as well as many of her own designs, "taste tested" by her two young sons. Anyone who knows how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off should be able to complete these projects, which include such fun items as a wizard's hat embellished with needle felting, a superhero cape, and Egyptian queen, Viking, and Mermaid costumes. Warmly recommended for public libraries. [For an interview with Howell, see p. 126.-Ed.] Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

    Finally, cool stuff for kids

    Very cool book, lots of awesome stuff to make for kids like the game 'memory' but with knitted squares, cool pirate stuff for bathtime, cool stuffed animals, awesome halloween gear. The instructions are pure and simple with no embellishments. This book is for more experienced knitters. In one case, unless I missed it, she only provided the patterns for the memory cards ( a simple shape on a square piece of knitting) with no directions at all.

    It's about time!

    Straying far from the typical snooze-fest a kid¿s knitting book usually initiates, New Knits actually gets the party started. Um hello, a stuffed guitar AND a mermaid costume, where was this book when I was four and mom was knitting up duck sweaters? I¿m sure I could have saved myself from more than one neighborhood bully with the help of Ms. Howell. Not only are the projects totally relevant and hip but the instructions are clear, concise and not without Vickie¿s trademark sense of humor. Not only do I highly recommend this book, I¿m making three of the projects as Christmas Gifts!
