Trade Review"Knits for Girls and Young Juniors is a book with a specific audience in mind.: young ladies. The sizes range from 6 to 12. The upcoming book provides 17 knits I am sure you will want to make for that special young lady in your life. Ahhh to be young again. I love a themed book, so Lee Gant hit the nail on the head for me. The patterns, I love them all. I want to reverse time and make my Shelbey a teenager again. LOL! If you are anything like me, the pretty pictures make you Ohh and Ahh. The photography in this book is breathtaking. The textures and colors just jump off the page. When I purchase a book of patterns, variety is key. I want to have choices and Lee nails that part as well. The patterns include cable and color work. This book gives you dresses and skirts, coats and scarves! It is 100 plus pages of “oh I have to make this, and this and this one too!” I promise you will be digging in your stash to see if you have enough to cast on NOW! The other great thing is all of the patterns have easy to follow instructions. You know how you nod your head in agreement when you read a pattern? NO? I am the only one that does that? Ready to order your copy now? OK, you order and I am going to search for a shrinking machine so Shelbey can wear some of these patterns. Knit on my fiber friends…knit on." —GG, knitter and founder of GGmadeit
"Lee Gant's new book, Knits for Girls and Young Juniors, has a wide variety of styles and sizes. The oversized sweater & poncho are our favorites from this book. If you have a girl or young junior in your life, definitely give this book a look. You're sure to find a pattern you'd love to knit."—Geeky Girls Knit, website and podcast
"There's a sizable gap between fashions for little girls and women. Gant covers it in style, with cool, carefree knits that will delight pre- and young teens....These patterns, neither too girly nor too grown up, are perfect for a time when a girl is starting to figure out her own style."--Spring/Summer 2018, Knit Simple
