I’d have my needles at the ready. Unfortunately, I’m a lefty (harder to follow knitting instrux) and I’ve tried to learn how to knit about six times with dismal results. The new book Fairy Tale Knits (Wiley, by Alison Stewart-Guinee) inspires me so much, though, that if I were given the chance to sit down with a really patient and good teacher, I think I would give it another try. Check out these designs! In the meantime, I’m sending a copy of the book to my mom, because she has mad skilz in this department.

Hi there!…I just wanted to thank you for this nice post! I am honored. BTW, I’m a leftie too, although I actually cast on right handed and knit left handed, strange I know, but it works for me. Thanks again!…alison
I saw this book and B&N last week! I’m itching to pick it up and give it a whirl (just have to find some kiddies to give the items to once I’m done).
