knitting knee-highs by: barb brown

Product DescriptionIn this book, author Barb Brown takes sock knitting to new heights by teaching you the ins and outs of knitting kneehighs, a popular sock, but one that needs more explanation than most books and magazines give it. Here, in the first book on the topic, you will learn how to size these socks as you knit them, with 20 great patterns to pick from. Each of the 20 knee-high patterns comes with a variation that features that design in a different color and style of sock, perfect for knitters who want to mix up their sock drawer.

"Knitting Knee-Highs" is not just for the lover of knee-high stockings: the 20 great patterns are shown with variations of the non-knee-high variety, for those who like their socks shorter, there is even a pattern for leg warmers!
I was thrilled to get this book! I love knitting, but I have never branched out to socks...until now! Knitting Knee-Highs is full of beautiful and just plain stunning socks. The patterns are lovely, and the directions for customized fit are good. If you like knee-socks, you'll love Knitting Knee-Highs!
Some of my favorites that I will be sporting this fall:

I'd be lying if I told you those are the only socks I like! I think that I'm completely in love with every single pair in this book! I'm sure my husband and I will have over flowing sock drawers come fall!
If you're a sock knitter, a lover of stranded patterns, looking for more than ho-hum socks or love new and interesting techniques and folk-inspired patterns, you will absolutly love this book. Even if you are a beginner, I think you will still love this book! It's always fun to learn something new!!
Happy Knitting:)

God Gave Us So Much

Three Adorable Tales for Children of All Ages!

All three books are available in this exclusive treasury for the price of two!

God Gave Us the World
A brand new addition to this series.
For a limited time, available exclusively in this treasury!
God Gave Us Love
God Gave Us Heaven

Through the eyes of a curious little polar bear, young readers are invited into engaging journeys through the Arctic North Pole to explore some of their most tender-hearted and important questions.

Mama, Papa, and Grampa Bear, the ever-loving and wise guides for Little Cub’s adventures, share with her the incredible miracles of God’s creation and the depths of His love for her.

This limited edition treasury of the best-selling God Gave Us series includes three complete charming tales—one of which is brand new to the series. With heart and humor, the stories reveal the beauty of diversity throughout the world, the incredible gift of love, and the
wonderment of our Heavenly home to come.  

We were first introduced to this adorable little Polar Bear and Family, about two years ago when we found out we were having twins in a routine ultrasound. The ultrasound took place 5 days before my birthday. The Night of my birthday our doorbell rang, it was my dear friend Sharon dropping off a gift for my Birthday...a book. The Book was 'God gave us two' in the book the sweet Polar Bear's Mama gives birth to twins a boy and a girl. The gift was made even more special months later when, we learned we were too having a boy and a girl!

The Little Polar Bear Family quickly became a favorite in our home.
We were so excited to rip opened the package and start reading this 3 in 1 book! My 5 year old son was in love with this book from the moment he saw it! He loves that there is a old Polar Bear cub, and twin Polar Bear cubs...He said it's "Just like Us" :) These books are perfect for him.  He loved this "God might get mad if we hurt our world," Little Cub said.
"I get mad when the twins hurt my stuff." He was able to see that others feel the same way as him:)

I personally love this from God gave us Love:
"God gave us Love, all kinds of love.
The Love of mamas and papas,
the Love between friends and family.
And his Love too."

This would be the perfect addition to any family! These are wonderfully illustrated and full of Gods love! I look forward to adding all the Little Cub books to our family library!!
*God Gave Us So Much:
This is actually a 3-in-1 Limited Edition that includes "God Gave Us the World", "God Gave Us Love" and "God Gave Us Heaven".
