Comfort wool has a gorgeous kids short sleeve sweater pattern – I love the long line and wide comfortable 3/4 sleeves – sort of a jacket / sweater.

Pints and Purls: Portable Projects for the Social Knitter by Karida Collins and Libby Bruce. North Light Books (April 8, 2009).

A bit of groovy knitting book for the social young things. A fun premise – portable projects for the social knitter – not just to take to your ‘stitch + bitch’ knitting club, but to take along to any social gathering – the pub for instance!

If knitting at the pub is not quite your scene – there are projects in here that you can use before, during or after your social event – ‘hangover lap blanket’ has a very nice ‘red cross’ motif, dancing socks have a lovely lacy design, the ‘drunken’ sweater is really quite fun – an unusual asymmetrical design and the ‘barfly’ pullover has a very flattering neckline.

If you can get past the alcohol / drunken pub references in the project titles then this is a great little knitting book with some really attractive, fun and practical designs to knit on the go.
