This utterly ingenious pattern by Hunter Hammersen walks you through absolutely every step of creating these knitted books—from how to block your book-in-progress to how to attach the inner "pages" (which is actually your handy storage compartment).
This kit includes everything you need to create one Altoid tin-style book, just like the one I've pictured. The finished "book" is the size of an Altoid tin, or 2.3" wide, 3.7" tall, and .75" deep.
Just think how adorable your little knitted book will be as it sits on your coffee table or desk, holding your knitting notions—or maybe a secret love note!
80/20 Smooth Sock is my perfect workhorse fingering weight yarn. It's plump and robust, and creates a bouncy fabric. Use it for anything from socks to shawls to lightweight garments.

Targhee Worsted is a dream to knit with, it's sturdy but so soft, and I can't help but stop to squish the fabric as I knit. The color, Liquid Amber is so rich and has a fabulous range of tones from a soft coral to a rich red. I am fortunate enough to be testing the Warbler sweater, and this yarn a perfect compliment to the texture in the pattern. Than you Anne for such a lovely yarn!
Your yarn is precious to me. I was very thankful that you thought ahead and made it possible for us to know my order iswill remain safe and secure. Thank you!
What a gorgeous and beautiful blue. This yarn is so soft and comfy feeling. The cowl, I have started with this yarn will be so warm and comfortable for my friend.
I appreciate the option to do this!
I cannot say enough about Anne's Cashmere Blend yarn base and how it takes on her stunning color ways.
The yarn is so luxurious and soft and the colors are deep and rich.
A pure joy to knit and wear!
My favorite go-to yarn, Such wonderful colors to puzzle together and create with, shipped earlier than expected! Thank you so much.
Lovely handfeel, beautiful color. Can't wait to finish my project and wear it.
Targhee worsted has a great handfeel ( is that a word? It should be). I really like the clearly defined stitches it's creating. I will definitely be looking for more of this 100% native wool.
A knitting friend with similar values (support small businesses/ artists, environmental stewardship) told me about the Kindred Spirits subscription, which is like a CSA. While I haven't yet knit anything with the gorgeous hanks I get every 6 weeks, the colors will go together into a lovely soft striped sweater, or a shawl... it is luscious to contemplate.
So soft and the color is gorgeous!
How wonderful to open another beautiful surprise package of hand-dyed yarn! The depth of color is fascinating.
Gorgeous colors with specks of magic. Cashmere blend is the softest, most luxurious yarn! I love it!!!
This subscription is an absolute joy. The colors are beautiful, the feel of the yarn is luxurious at your fingertips, and Anne is responsive and genuine. Occasionally I don’t warm to a color right away, only to realize later that it’s just the right shade to work into a stranded project I’m planning. I previously had a subscription with a bigger yarn and pattern producer whose reputation did not map onto my experience. Kindred Spirits is superior in every way—most notably in colorway variety and customer service. Highly recommended.
Dear Anne, I haven't had a chance to play with everything yet, but I can say the following. Handwriting my name on your letter was a super-nice touch. I will be smelling the candle for ages before I ever decide to burn it. Yarn colors festively out of my normal zone. Can't wait to build the advent calendar. LOVE the stitch markers and their little jar. The little bowl! Couldn't figure out what the "bell" was. Did I get a llama instead? Overall - a 10. Thank you so much for the experience. Sincerely, Sydney
Very excited about this box. Have so far save the opening for closer to the Solstice.
