Goodnight Moon
Thanks to illustrator, Clement Hurd, this little children’s book has a knitting reference in the illustrations. Goodnight Moon is a classic baby/children’s bedtime story and one I read many times to Hana in her early years.
This book doesn’t mention any knitting directly, but the “quiet old lady who was whispering hush” does have knitting in her lap. Hana and I enjoyed saying goodnight to the knitting along with all the other objects in the child’s room. Unfortunately it does perpetuate the myth that only grannies knit, but we chose to overlook that point!

I just ran into my notes from the self patterning Sock yarn class at the Creative Expo and clicked on your blog. I LOVE the little bunny knitting in the rocking chair and the story Goodnight Moon. I look forward to more of your blog entries.
