Book Review - "Weekend Knitting"

"Weekend Knitting: 50 Unique Projects and Ideas"
Melanie Falick

http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/1584792914/sr=8-4/qid=1145904195/ref=sr_1_4/701-7243947-7165957?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=gateway&v=glance

A singular book, "Weekend Knitting" combines knitting-appropriate books and movies, with quotes and recipes interspered throughout the text. While I did find a handful of patterns that I was interested in making (the Nursury Rhyme Finger Puppets are very cute), I was more interested in the book's helpful hints, such as the "Gentle Hand Massage" outlined on page 101 and and "Knitter's Gift Basket" with suggestions for knitter gifts on page 149.
The book made me wish I had my own home to decorate with yarn! (page 41).
