Faith, Hope, Love, Knitting: Celebrating the Gift of Knitting with 24 Beautiful Patterns
A beautiful book about friendship and knitting. Stories of friendship are woven into this book with patterns to go along with. Stories of people who have met while knitting at bible class, or who have met at a yarn shop, or neighbors who discovered a mutual love of knitting. All these lovely heartwarming stories introduce a knitting pattern.
There are some beautiful designs in here (and some ho-hum ones – but you get that). Gorgeous Angora gloves, a delicate lace shawl, an amazing cable and lace vest, very sweet sweater with a lace motif edging, an adorable loveheart pillow, there are kids sweaters, socks and scarves and toys too.
The book is a little thin on charts and diagrams and illustrations – but there are some where most needed. Not really a book for an absolute knitter as there isn’t really a ‘how to knit’ section, but there are some great simple knitting projects which makes this book perfect to add to your knitting book collection.

It looks like a great book – thanks for posting as I hadn’t seen it elsewhere. I do like the blending of patterns with personal experience/knitting philosopy, as long as it doesn’t go too far!
