I saw
this at Borders yesterday and I wanted to buy it, not so much so I could knit a corgi or a Queen Mum, but because the pictures are really cute. I did end up buying two knitting books that have excellent sweater and cardigan patterns. I'm nearly done with my first sweater-I've got one and a half sleeves to go, plus some business with reinforcing the button holes and sewing on buttons. I hope it doesn't grow too much when I block it because it's almost a perfect fit right now.
