Book Description | This irresistible list book from National Geographic provides lighthearted quick hits of inspiration for those of us who feel overwhelmed--which is to say, all of us. Musings, activity suggestions, and illuminating quotes are paired with whimsical art on themes such as living in the moment, achieving balance, relieving stress, developing patience, and appreciating the world around us. "Slow living" sidebars, such as "Foods to Cook Slowly" and "Things to Do the Old-Fashioned Way," are interspersed throughout the book. |
Editorial Review | There's a nice spread of difficulty levels included, and the yarn ranges from durable, easy-care cottons and acrylics for sweaters and blankets to soft luxury yarns for a special-occasion pantsuit and a pair of newborn socks. Several of the projects also incorporate interesting textures such as bobbles and raised stitches, which are great for babies' sensory development. VERDICT: Crocheters seeking cheery, gender-neutral baby gear will find abundant options in this fun pattern collection. --Library Journal |
