Johanna here is the link to that book I mentioned,
a friend of mine in AZ used it and said it was wonderful, she had asked me to teach her , but we moved before I could!

If you want any tips or some really easy beginning patterns for you to make for your son just ask!

I knit, crochet, sew and quilt, but mostly knit. It is the easiest for me to transport so I usually take it everywhere.

I've made it a tradition to make a afghan of some sort for all my friends when they get married, but I have as of yet to get one done on time. I also make baby blankets and full layette sets for friends who are expecting. I'm pretty good when it comes to flat items but am getting better with hats knitted in the rounds and socks. I'm hoping to do Xmas stockings for my whole family for Xmas '08 (I have too many weddings and babies happening before then).

I haven't crocheted in years and would need a refresher. I'm good at sewing straight lines but not much else and mostly limit myself to sewing curtains and general mending. I quilted for awhile buy mostly have given that up for more knitting time. The results come so fast with knitting.

I love to knit but crocheting is faster for me actually, I guess because there arent nearly as many switch ups in a pattern, so I can crochet a sweater in a weekend but it would take me a week to knit it.!
I actually knit more often though, as I enjoy it more! (however last minute gifts can and have been done in a trip to the house placed in a bag and delivered with that Oh this?? it was nothing! ) Yes terrible confession but I did do my SIL shawl that way on a trip to KC kansas 5.5 hours WHEW!
She loved it and I was really happy that there had a been a bit of traffic!
