Would love to win this! My god daughter is an 11 yo beginning knitter. While she’s ready to branch out from garter stitch scaves, she’s not quite ready to tackle full sized clothing patterns. This book would be an excellent Summer Vacation gift and one that we can share as I help her learn to knit garments, but on a smaller size scale so she is inspired to aspire to larger garment knitting.
