Decent patterns by various designers. Oddly written as it‘s for beginner knitters, but includes complex projects like a brioche hat and several sweaters or jumpers. Also includes directions on how to take a bath and how to make tea. Still shocked over the directions to add fruit jelly to tea. Is this an actual thing? Worth noting, there is a pattern for a hat that was made for baby Harry Potter but wasn‘t used due to the warm weather.

julesG Fruit jelly in tea is a thing in Russia. Not my thing, by the way. Just know about it from visiting Russian born friends. 4y
Panic70 @julesG Thank you! Probably far from the overly sweet artificial American fruit jelly. 4y
julesG Homemade, most often. Blackberry or black currants, I think. It's for sweetening, but I'd definitely prefer honey. BTW, I share your thoughts on the book. 4y
Panic70 @julesG I just can‘t imagine a world where a knitter that can make sweaters and socks needs advice on how to take a bath. 😂 If you find a knitting book you enjoy feel free to tag me. 😁 4y
julesG Will do. 4y
