Snack Olives by Mario Camacho
I am not an olive fan – so I had my Mom try these. She approved, though thought there was a bit too much garlic.
Dark Chocolate Crepe Dentelle by Gavottes
Two thumbs up on anything with chocolate.

Restaurant Style White Bean Chip by Beanitos
These I wanted to try w/ salsa or queso and then when I was finally ready to eat them they were gone! Mom ate them because I took to long to.. and said they were good.
Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries by Emily’s Chocolate
Mom snagged these as well and enjoyed them.

Honey Graham Sticks by Back to Nature
Dad got these as he is our resident Honey Graham eater (and picky at that) but enjoyed them.

PureNotes Dark “Chocolatey” by TCHO
Chocolate is always good… no complaints here
“Mokaccino” SeriousMilk Chocolate + Blue Bottle Coffee by TCHO
Did not try this
Chocolate Chip Biscotti by Biscotti di Suzy
Two thumbs up on the biscotti as well.

 

Book Review: Knit Your Own Zoo

knitKnit Your Own Zoo includes easy-to-follow patterns for 24 animals – including Armadillos, Wolf, Seals, Koalas, Meerkats, Pandas and a Kangaroo and a Joey.  It also includes some hints and methods as well to help you along.  Each animal has step by step patterns for each of the body parts as well as images of them throughout the process so you can make sure that yours looks how it should!  These are all adorable and I’d love to take up knitting – if only I didn’t have a gigantic craft to do list already (and no time for half of it as it is!)

But if you are a knitter you can easily make some wonderfully exotic animals – your own zoo.

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

About the Book

From the authors of the beloved and best-selling Knit Your Own Dog, Knit Your Own Cat, and Knit Your Own Dog: The Second Litter comes Knit Your Own Zoo! With easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for 24 animals, it’s an irresistible guide to knitting a single exotic pet or an entire stuffed menagerie.

 

What could be better than a cuddly koala or a long-necked giraffe to call your own? Knit Your Own Zoo includes patterns for both, as well as a tiger, crocodile, penguin, meerkat, elephant, giraffe, panda, a kangaroo and her joey, and 14 other delightful creatures. The animals are surprisingly easy to make; with a few evenings of work, you can have a covetable companion for life. Given a week, you could be charging admission to your own nature park!

 

Along with the knitting patterns, Sally and Joanna also include brief descriptions of the various species and offer tips and advice on sewing up and embellishing the animals.

 

And, of course, these knitted animals are much easier to look after than the real things—they don’t eat, won’t make a mess, and are legal to keep in your home.
