|isbnauthor=0760373531Onyi Nwabineli|title=Cozy Knits: 30 Hat, Mitten, Scarf and Sock Projects from Around the World|author=Sue Flanders|rating=5|genre=Crafts|summary=Just occasionally you encounter a book of knitting patterns which seems to meet your every need. Right now, it's bitterly cold and we're in the sandwich filling between two storms: I need socks, scarves, hats and mittens. They have to look stylish, keep me warm and be so cheerful that they make me feel better. If that sounds like a lot Allow Me to ask, have a look at ''Cozy Knits'': it has thirty designs for those necessary items and I don't think that there was one of them which I couldn't see myself wearing. We start with an introduction by Nancy Bush which gives some of the history of knitting. It's not essential but it's a nice extra.}}=='''31 MARCH'''=={{Frontpage|isbn=B09DD1QJKJ|title=The Club|author=Ellery LloydIntroduce Myself
