Have you been enjoying the knitting series by Rebecca Danger?
(Her 6th and final lesson in the series was posted earlier today, or you can click here.)
If you somehow missed it, the whole series can be found by clicking on the image below:
Rebecca Danger (blog found here) is such a clever knitting pattern designer and has a fantastic collection of knitting.
Just check out some of her patterns that she has available (plus tons more) in her shop, here.
Adorable, adorable, and more adorable. Wow.
.

Rebecca also recently came out with a knitting book, packed with knitted monster patterns…….
…………………all designed by her. (Book available here.)
…………………all designed by her. (Book available here.)
She has included great photography of helpful tips……
There are 20 brand new patterns, complete with all you need to know to create her sweet little monsters.
What I love about Rebecca’s monsters, is that each monster has a name and a personality. She gives descriptions of each of her little monsters……which are so fun to read.
Are you in love?
Don’t you want one of each?
Yeah, me too!
And since we’ve all been taught the basics, it’s time to put those knitting lessons to practice and refine our stitches and become better at reading patterns (and use the tips from the post earlier today)……….and then knit some of these little monsters. Hooray.
And good news…….Rebecca is giving away one of her Knitted Monsters pattern books to one of you Make It and Love It readers.
Wouldn’t you like to add to your knitting book collection? Or start one?
Or give it to a friend/mom/sister who loves to knit?
