Book Series

Reviews from Readers

I recently downloaded a couple of books from this series to read over the weekend thinking I would read just one or two. However, I so loved the books that I read all the six books I had downloaded in one go and ended up downloading a few more today. Written by different authors, the books offer practical advice on how you can perform or achieve certain goals in life, which in this case is how to have a better life.
The information is simple to digest and learn from, and is incredibly useful. There are also resources listed at the end of the book that you can use to get more information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DEDICATION

To my little supporting family..Scott Congdon, Miranda Green, William Green III, and Goliath Fanelli (Hes the dog you will see). I would also like to mention my deceased Grandmother, Iona Miller, who was the one that taught me the knitting we will share.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I started out learning to crochet then evolved into knitting. I crocheted my first childs blanket during my pregnancy and then after her birth learned from my grandmother how to knit. By the time my son was born, I could create and knit his blanket without a pattern. I have a full-time Office Management employment in a healthcare setting, so I look for mind relaxing by the end of the day. Although I find both knitting and crocheting mind beneficial, to me knitting is simpler. Life is short, relax, have fun with it, and laugh a little throughout this book! ;0)

I do can be found on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

INTRODUCTION

W elcome to the world of knitting. That sounds a little far and wide, but once you see how simple the two most important parts are and the options they will give youll see that world. An introduction will be started to the basic equipment, the slight difference in left and right-hand perspectives, and then off to the hands-on learning.

The thought of knitting itself does seem to almost put fear in some people; it is actually known to have an opposite effect. Although it does affect some people differently; it is mostly known to be therapeutic, meditative, and relaxing. It works well for people that cannot sit idle, those that love arts have great imaginations, and creativity. This is due to the allowance of the mind and body to combine and create.

It is a hobby that doesnt have any specific requirements, deadlines, or skills. The ending results can be for oneself, for family, friends, pets, or even to the unknown. There is always the option of making and selling or making for people and places in need. Get started with the simple basic concept that it is all for fun and it is all for you!
