You might also enjoy reading Hereville, which recently won the Association of Jewish Libraries' Sydney Taylor Award (older readers).

The cover, which you may find at http://www.hereville.com/wp-content/uploads/front_cover_625wide1.png shows Mirka - the heroine - standing on top of an oversized ball of yarn, smiling triumphantly.

The climax of the book involves a knitting challenge between Mirka and a troll. You may view a low-res scan of one of the pages of the competition at http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com/afuse8production/files/2010/08/Hereville-sequence.jpg

I can send you a higher-res scan for your website if you'd like.
