Lorelei’s Journey is a unique treasure trove of knitting patterns, a children’s story, coloring pages, and paper dolls. Each design in this book was inspired by my daughter’s desire for a mermaid doll that she could play with all day, every day! This book features a mermaid doll, Lorelei, and all of her accessories to make her journey successful and fun. There are also patterns for a child’s shawl set, skirt, and sweater inspired by the mermaid’s seaside home. The collection culminates in a shawl any adult will treasure. This book is perfect for any mermaid fan and knitter alike!

Once upon a time…Isn’t that how all great stories begin? Imagination, play, and stories are all important elements of my day. Anytime I can wrap those elements into my crafting, particularly knitting, even better! My daughter Addison has never been one to see limits—when she has an idea in her head, she chases it until she achieves her dream. Over and over again, she told me about this doll that she wanted, that she just had to have. We searched and we looked, but nothing we found was quite right. She would tell me about it and draw pictures of the different things she wanted. This book brought her doll dream to life.
