Knitters, wool lovers, and cloth diapering parents - This is the book you've been waiting for! 
 
Knitting Wool Diaper Covers from Start to Finish is the ultimate resource on knitting longies, shorties, skirties, and soakers.  Everything you've ever wanted to know is included in this professionally published, spiral-bound, soft-cover book.
 
Here is some feedback on the book, taken directly from my HC feedback page:
"A must have for beginning knitters. I love this book! Quick shipping and one awesome wahm!"
"The book is very thorough and a big help for a new knitter like me."
"A wonderful and very well put together book. Enjoy just reading it so far. Can not wait to get some wool yarn to start knitting with and using the helpful book."
"The book is so chock full of information."
"I absolutely love this book so far, it looks very informative and easy instructions to follow with lots of pictures!"
"Excellent book. Very well written. Extremely helpful and informative. Thanks!"
"This is a beautifully printed coil-bound book (perfect for laying flat and open while you're working!). I can't wait to start some new knitting projects!"
"Excellent book. Very detailed pattern and excellent demonstrative photos."
"Why, oh why did I not find this book sooner? I love it! It's the perfect size and is so thorough. I really like the conversational style in which it is written; I feel like Maggie is my new BFF and we will sit, knit, and chat for hours! ;-)"
"It is great to have a book that has yarn info, patterns, as well as dying instructions all in one place. Plus if you can't decide if you want to use soakers, shorties, longies, or skirties she includes a pattern for each."
 
Let me be your friendly guide as you learn to knit wool diaper covers.  I am a teacher with over a decade of experience and a PhD in Education.  I've written my patterns and tutorials in a conversational style, with plenty of pictures and resources.  The patterns are completely customizable for children of any size, because they use your own measurements (charts with typical measurements are also provided).  This 140-page book will virtually hold your hand as you learn how to shop for yarn, dye yarn, and knit it up into beautiful heirloom creations.  At 8.5x5.5", it's the perfect size to toss into your knitting bag. 
 
Good news - You are welcome and encouraged to sell any wares made from the patterns and techniques in this book.  There are no licensing fees or restrictions!
 
As you'll see in the Table of Contents below, there is something in this book for knitters of all levels.
