It's Child's Play....

This week I find myself needing to share the attributes of a magazine with you all. Again, not just a magazine, but one that you will put into a binder and keep for a lifetime. Creative Knitting Magazine has published a fantastic special addition, Child's Play and as it sounds it is all about the kiddies. According to the cover it will be on news-stands until April 29th. What a lovely addition to your own Easter basket.

Every design is made especially for toddlers to early teens - boys and girls. If you have a girl in the family that is wild for American Girl dolls, there are two designs that have matching patterns for the girls and their dolls. They have already been slated for a September birthday and a holiday gift for my niece and her doll. The boys are not left out in any way, at least half the magazine are items for boys, plus there are several toys for the wee ones.

I was thrilled to find this as I find it difficult to find patterns for children in the 2-4 age group. Lots of patterns above and below that age range, but few for the basic toddler+ set. Auntie Knitty Scribe is going to be very busy this summer. 

Some children hate out growing their favorite clothes, so with this issue you can make every size so that your special little one can grow-up with his favorite jumper or her favorite dress. If you want to make each size a little different, just knit them in different colors. Are you looking for quick and easy gifts for family and friends that are expecting their own little ones, I think you'll even find a few items in this magazine that will make cherished heirloom items. 

And remember it's just child's play.....

Knit on, Read on....
