Meet Mary Ruth - there's nothing she likes more than visiting her Grandma, because Grandma has a wonderful crafts room full of cool things. And this visit, Grandma has promised Mary Ruth a special surprise: knitting lessons! At first, Mary Ruth is afraid it might be hard. But she discovers it's fun...and easy too. The accompanying book features Mary Ruth's knitting instructions written "just the way Grandma taught me," with all the basic techniques and directions for four projects: a Barkley Ball, Hotsy-Totsy Hat, Tasseled Skinny Scarf and Kitty Comforter.
Mary Ruth's teacher has some news: their classmate Ashley needs an operation and will be away for a whole month. So she asks everyone to come up with a special way to say "we'll miss you." Mary Ruth wonders what they can do - until Grandma comes to the rescue with an idea: a friendship quilt. She promises it's simple and quick and every person can contribute a block with a personal message for Ashley. The friendship quilt is a huge success; everyone loves creating it and Ashley loves receiving it. And the second book in this beautiful series shows readers how they can make one, too!
