Every once in a while I take a look at knitting books slated to release in coming months. The list below includes ones I found on Amazon that I will probably take a look at when they are available. Where possible, I included links to previews of the designs.
Inspired to Knit by Michele Rose Orne - Designs are organized by the seasons. Nice designs, and each section challenges you to learn new techniques. overview, preview, at Amazon
Knit So Fine: Designs With Skinny Yarn by Lisa R. Myers, Laura Grutzeck, and Carol J. Sulcoski - This one has some really pretty designs, but they totally scare me. I know I would probably never finish one. Although, I really want to attempt to make a Bohus-inspired sweater this year.overview, preview, at Amazon
Knits for Men by Margaret Hubert - I couldn't find any pictures yet of the designs. Always good to see another "man" book out. overview, at Amazon
Classic Elite Knits: 100 Gorgeous Designs for Every Occasion from the Studios of Classic Elite Yarns - Not even a cover design for this one yet. at Amazon
Knock Down Knits: 30 Projects from the Roller Derby Track by Toni Carr - This one has me TOTALLY intrigued. overview, at Amazon
Twinkle's Weekend Knits: 20 Fast Designs for Fun Getaways by Wenlan Chia - I am not a Twinkle fan per se, but as far as casual designs go, there might be a few in here for me. I am all for the quick knit. overview, at Amazon
Mastering the Art of Mason-Dixon Knitting: Patterns, Stories, Pictures, True Confessions, Tricky Bits, Whole New Worlds and Familiar Ones, Too by Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner - Nothing available on this one yet. Since it doesn't come out until Sept, I am sure they will have a preview on their Web site later in the year. at Amazon
Glad to know you're intrigued! Love your blog btw!

Don't be afraid! Honest! The book is designed to include some smaller projects for your first foray into smaller gauges, as well as tips to help you along. We're hoping to get some Knitalongs and a book blog started once the book is available, too. (It's being printed even as I write this...)
I knit the Bohus last summer -- and I have 3 kids age 10 and under and no regular child care. You can too!!
and thanks very much for mentioning the book.
