Knitting is sociable, fun and creative and Rachel Henderson's mission is to make it appealing and accessible to young people. Her 25 simple projects are easy to follow but EVEN more importantly worth making! She is a new talent on the knitting scene and is supported by Rowan, the international yarn company, who will help to promote and market the book.

It's easy to be puzzled by many knitting patterns but I Love Knitting resolves all those worries with straightforward explanations and chapters such as: How to Knit-- the Basics, Knitting for an Occasion, Accessories for Guys & Girls, and Inspiration. Things to do with Your Wool and Needles, and Extreme Knitting Photos inject some lighthearted humor into the process of learning.

But the heart of the book is the super cool, super fashionable projects-- from a loopy muff to a flower corsage to a feather-weight silk evening scarf to easy projects to give as presents, like a laptop case or a guy's scarf--all infused with Rachel's quirky style. This is a book to inspire any first time knitter to take up the craft and to keep a more experienced knitter totally engaged.
