Book Review – The Sassy Ladies’ Toolkit for Startup Businesses

The Sassy Ladies toolkit for Start-up Businesses written by Michelle Girasole, Wendy Hanson and Miriam Perry RRP $16.95

This book is a must have resource guide for any woman (or guy) to have when thinking about starting their own business online or brick and mortar. The book covers everything from the moment you start “dreaming” about your business idea to the feasibility of your dreams. Chapters cover areas like networking, marketing and other business stuff that you need to know before you get started.

It might not seem that important, but I love the fact that this book fits into my laptop bag or purse which means I was able to read it whilst having a coffee (the only 5 mins I can grab some days).

It’s easy to read with sections for writing down your own thoughts and reflections on each chapter so you don’t have to try and remember what you thought or felt.

This book is not going to make your a millionaire but it is certainly going to provide you with the tools that you will need to get your dreams to reality which as most business women know, its one of the hardest stages to conquer.

If you’re looking for a sweater knitting pattern that uses up some of your stash and allows you to make just the sweater you want, the Marlina Rib by Shay Johson might be just the thing.

It’s worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together to make a DK weight gauge, so you can use the same two yarns throughout or change one or both regularly for an even more colorful look.

The pattern has options to make it either a crewneck or a henley style with buttons, tapered or relaxed sleeves, and a straight hemline or a split hem with buttons (which sounds so cute if you do the henley with split hem and match the buttons on both parts).

It’s also knit from the top down so you can make the body and the sleeves as long as you want. There are 10 sizes available in the pattern, with a chest circumference ranging from 32 to 68 inches, or 81.5 to 172.5 cm. It’s meant to be worn with 4-6 inches/10-15 cm of positive ease at the chest.

The pattern page on Ravelry includes tons of measurements and yardage estimates so you can make sure you’ll get a good fit for your body before you even buy the pattern. Shay also shows a few variations of the sweater so you can see how different options look before you decide how you want to put them together.

The stitch pattern is 1×2 ribbing, which is really easy to do and gives a look almost like fisherman’s rib that’s relaxed and easy to wear.

This sweater looks like a great option for people who are somewhat new to sweater knitting or those who love to have lots of customization options (because it’s like getting multiple sweater patterns in one!).

Check out all the details and grab a copy of the pattern for yourself at Ravelry.
