If you don't knit now, you'll want to learn after paging through Itty Bitty Nursery by Susan B. Anderson. This book is a delightful collection of adorably whimsical baby gear knitting projects and an excellent follow-up to Itty Bitty Hats, which is chock full of the cutest little children's hats you've ever seen.I had the pleasure of meeting Susan at a book signing at my local knit shop and she brought along several sample items for this book and her upcoming book. All of her projects are achingly cute, usable and full of fanciful little touches, but unlike many knitting books I've encountered, these projects are achievable. You don't need to be a master knitter with decades of free time on your hands to create your own mini-masterpiece. One of the very first projects is a hat/sweater/booties set composed entirely of squares, which is often a beginner's first foray into learning how to knit. If you're experienced (a-hem), you'll appreciate the more intricate crib mobile, complete with flowers and charming little pastel mouses. Did you ever think you could knit a crib mobile for your little one? Me neither, at least not until now. Seriously, this book is one of the best baby knit books on the market today.
