Great Yarns for the Close-Knit Family [SCM]
by Mary Gildersleeve Author
More than two dozen original knitting designs inspired by a dozen great family read-aloud books. Lots of encouragement and how-to instructions for those who are just learning (or who just want to learn) to knit. Each classic read-aloud mentioned has a plot overview, short author biography, as well as information on the illustrator. Most projects are tied to corresponding excerpts from the books.
