Granny McFlitter is back! And she is more adorable than ever, knitting, knitting and knitting some more. Nothing is going to stop her knitting - not even a rather large bull.
I loved the first Granny McFlitter book Granny McFlitter The Champion Knitter. Now New Zealand author Heather Haylock and illustrator Lael Chisholm have joined forces for this second instalment Granny McFlitter A Country Yarn.
In this book Granny McFlitter is showing off her knitted vegetables at the A&P Show. To those outside of New Zealand reading this an A&P Show is an agricultural show. Granny McFlitter is sitting back enjoying a pot of tea when a bull escapes. Granny McFlitter comes to the rescue with her knitting skills but there is a little bit more to this story.
Some of the items Granny McFlitter knits are amazing. Have you ever seen a knitted pavlova, lamington, fudge or even a gate.
The illustrations in this book are again absolutely delightful and it is hard to believe that the illustrator is only in her early 20s.
I just love the poetic writing style of the author, who is a teacher aide in a primary school.
If you haven't met Granny McFlitter yet, you need to - she's adorable. Looking forward to reading more of her knitting adventures in the future.
