This is our second issue of By Kids For Kids (BK4K)! 

We hope you'll enjoy reading and crafting from our second issue as much as we've enjoyed creating it for you!  We've developed three new simple and stylish patterns for you plus a great little idea for a project for babysitting or party favors!  

Fun fashion doesn't have to take hours or cost a bundle!  Notice the new feature to the right -- the Quick Tip.  This section features clever, fast ways to use our most popular yarns to create a look that is uniquely YOU! 

Want to know where you can find the yarns we're using?  Yarns like ours are carried at most popular craft stores.  Try the store locator to find places near you that have all the stuff you're looking for!

Whether you love your iPod or just want to protect your investment, these easy-to-make knit Microspun iPod socks are a hip way of shielding your iPod from harm.  

They're a snap to create for gifts or in different colors to coordinate with your outfits!

User Instructions:  Just slide your iPod into the sock to keep it safe and warm. Slide it out to dock or change playlists.

When Sun Gets In Your Eyes

Looking for a great project for babysitting or for a kid's party?  These cheerful foam visors are guaranteed to delight the little ones (not for the under-3 crowd however!)

Best yet -- they're made from materials that won't break your budget and that are easily available at your local craft store.   Start by knitting or crocheting strips of fun fur for decoration.   Combine with stick-on foam letters, beads and other materials of your choice and they'll have hours of creative fun!
