I have been using this book for almost a month. I never thought I would get into knitting--I pictured terrible sweaters and horrible socks when I imagined myself knitting. But this book is pretty amazing....I just finished my first project using four double pointed needles: a knitted ball for Nathaniel. The author is very encouraging and motivating. I couldn't believe it myself when I finished the ball, stuffed it with fiberfill, and threw it at Perry. I'm probably going to make one of every item in the book. I bought this book because I loved her first two and the reversible toys look like so much fun. I knit the egg to bird pattern the day after I bought it and the toy was promptly claimed by my oldest daugther. Anderson's patterns are well written with just enough whimsy to keep you interested but not so much as to seem daunting. Take it one row at a time and you'll have the double pleasure of an intriguing knit and fun toy!
It's a pretty good book, but I discovered I'm not crazy about knitting fiddly little toys.

Wonderful patterns and some are tedious to make - but worthwhile!

I love the inside-out/reversible patterns. And the baby balls.
