if only....

I love this video.  I love the music, I love the concept and mostly I love the finished sweater.  I can only assume that I would love the book as well.  I wish Beastie would play contentedly while I knit a sweater in a day.  Oh well, I will have to live vicariously:






Product Description

This beautifully illustrated children's picture book tells the charming story of beloved Phoebe mouse, who becomes a big sister for the very first time. What is mother knitting while she waits for her new baby to arrive? A beautiful new sweater for Phoebe to wear! The book includes a lovely set of photographs and knitting patterns from the illustrated story, including Phoebe's sweater, a mouse doll in a sweet handknit dress, and a doll-sized sweater to match Phoebe's. This book is an heirloom gift for any child, especially one who is special in the life of a knitter.
About the Author
Joanna Johnson lives in Loveland, Colorado, with her illustrator husband and their three children, who provide constant inspiration for her stories. After earning a B.A. in Literature and working for a short time at an academic publishing house, she has enjoyed rediscovering a childhood interest in writing and knitting. She is (at least) a fifth generation knitter, and has had a wonderful time breathing life into the beautiful illustrations from this book through her knitting pattern designs.

Wish I could knit so quick! I'm fascinated by how she can knit on a table - that would kill my arms and back!!

Very cool. I haven't learned how to knit yet, but have the skill of crocheting down. Love the video.

I love that sweater! I wonder how that lady had time to do that in a day with a toddler running around!

Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for beginner blog writers? I'd really appreciate
it.

I am really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run
into any web browser compatibility problems? A number of
my blog visitors have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari.
Do you have any tips to help fix this problem?

Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any recommendations?

Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where
I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one?
Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure exactly why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I'll check back later and see if the
problem still exists.

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.

I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

Hey! I know this is sort of off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does running a well-established blog like yours
require a lot of work? I'm completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I'd
like to start a blog so I can easily share my personal experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
Thankyou!

Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations
for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a
little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with
a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Appreciate it!

Right now it appears like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform
available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
