Hey knitters and crocheters, this one's special. The Blossom Street Collection book by Leisure Arts isn't just about making pretty things – though there are 9 gorgeous designs inside, like totes, cardigans, scarves, and shawls. It's also about giving back. The patterns were created by bestselling author and veteran knitter Debbie Macomber, and guess what? She's donating all her proceeds from this book to help children worldwide. So you get to treat yourself to a fun project AND support a great cause. The patterns are rated easy-to-intermediate, so they're perfect if you've got some basics down but want to try something new. Each one comes with clear step-by-step instructions, helpful diagrams, stitch guides, and full-color photos – everything you need to succeed. The book is 36 pages, softcover, and packed with inspiration. Whether you're making a cozy cardigan for yourself or a gift for a friend, you'll love the sense of accomplishment (and the warm, fuzzy feeling from helping others). Grab your yarn and needles – it's crafting time!
