25 Best Knitting Books


We looked at a variety of knitting books that consistently sell well – and curated a list of 25 books that would be a welcome addition to any knitter’s library. Our list includes the all-time best-seller by Vogue, classic books by Elizabeth Zimmerman, as well as compilations of types of knitting techniques. The books include Rowan patterns, socks, sweaters, Japanese stitches, shawls, and more.


Dollhouses


What’s better for the imagination than miniatures? Shop for dollhouses that are creative indoor playscapes. Choose from a wide variety of dollhouses that are styled for different-themed play, including wooden-, city-, country-, castle-, Victorian-, and green energy-themed houses.

Treehouses


The best tree houses bring adventures inside, and create memories that last a lifetime. Tree houses - whether they're made from branches, finished wood, or durable plastic - are awesome settings and backdrops for creating stories - from a Minecraft-based set to Calico Critters' tree house, to an Engineer's tree house...and more.

Craft Kits for Kids


What's a great way to share your love of crafting with your kids? Show them how much fun it can be to turn ideas into unique items! Sometimes you can just set up your pre-teen or teen with the basics and watch them take off. Other times it's nice to provide them with a kit that comes with instructions written specifically for a beginner. Most craft kits have all the supplies that you need, so you can just jump in and start on a project.


Art and Craft Bookshelf


Explore our bookshelf of arts and crafts books we love. Any of these books would be a great addition to a home library - whether it's a gorgeous coffee table art book, a step-by-step guide to knitting, or instructions for building a back yard retreat. Each book reflects an aspect of creativity that inspires us - books that we would read over and over.
