Oh my gosh, how amazing are these 50s styled food party boxes, I would love to have my Friday night dinner out of these even if it wasn’t a party night! So much fun and such an easy way to add a theme to your party meal.  

These food boxes can definitely add a fun and unique touch to your dinner or party. The 1950s theme is a timeless classic and will bring a sense of nostalgia to your event. Serving food in boxes or trays is a practical solution, especially if you’re having a large gathering. It’s a great way to provide your guests with individual portions of food and make sure everyone gets a taste of everything without the mess. 

The classic car theme is perfect for car enthusiasts, and it’s a great way to include a fun and playful element in your party. Don’t forget to add some vintage soda bottles and classic car napkins to complete the theme!

Book Review: Knits for Little Ones

If you have a little one in your life, Knits for Little Ones by Lotte Rahbek is full of sweet patterns for kids ages 0-2 inspired by nature and the sea.

Rahbek is a designer of Nordic inspired knits and these projects include lots of simple but nice details like stripes, cables, ruffles and eyelets. 

There are no knitting instructions in the book and one page that includes descriptions of a few techniques like raglan shaping, picking up stitches and German short rows, so it’s good if you have some knitting knowledge under your belt before you pick up this book. There is a little chart that shows some of the skills required in different projects such as I-cord, picking up stitches or cable and lace patterns. 

The skill levels are described as beginner, somewhat experienced and experienced. Of the 22 patterns, 6 are rated for beginners, 7 for somewhat experienced and 9 for experienced knitters. I’m not entirely sure I agree with her ratings, which put anything with cables or lace in the experienced section, including a baby blanket that’s worked flat and mostly garter stitch with easy cabled stripes. 

The patterns for beginners include socks worked on double pointed needles, which I wouldn’t consider a beginner skill. Others are a bottom up raglan worked in garter stitch with stripes, a colorblocked raglan worked from the bottom up,  a pair of shorts with stripes and a drawstring waistband, top down leggings with an elastic waistband and a little knit collar with a ruffle. 

Other projects include that pointed bonnet featured on the cover, a twirly dress, bloomers, a romper, cardigans and a ruffled vest, to name a few.

She leans heavily on ruffles and little cables and embellishments, which feels a little repetitive but does make the collection feel cohesive. I’d have loved to see more colorwork, but that’s clearly not what she was going for. 

The photographs of kids of various ages on the beach are darling and will make you wish you had a baby and a beach to re-create some of these scenes. 

If you like simple designs with a few fun details and have a kiddo under 2 to knit for, this collection is lovely and will result in pieces you are sure to treasure. 

About the book: 176 pages, 22 patterns. Published 2025 by Penguin UK. Suggested retail price $16.99.
