New Video for September

Here's a fun little baby project:


Like it?  It's from my Goldilocks book and DVD set, which is chock-full of easy, gift projects.  When I wrote the book, it was as a "progressive project" teaching tool.  It starts with the really basic ones and moves to the more difficult. 

You could start as a beginner machine knitter with this book, work the projects in order, and by the end of the book, you're making a real, shaped cardigan sweater with buttonholes.  It comes with 4 hours of video that is all about how each technique is performed.

The Goldilocks Challenge is available at www.dianaknit.com
