Sarah - I figured that the first one is probably all you need to get started and then decide about the rest of them - I would guess they were about $10 - I think that the main project in them was a knitted blanket but there seemed to be other patterns in each week (or so it looked from the add)

Lisa - I saw a book in the bookshop the other day that your DD would probably like. It was called somethign like Teen Knits and had things like beanies, leg warmers and other bits of funky clothing that were really easy to knit. I actually thought about buying it but my knitting book collection or almost the same size as my cooking book selection now and I really ahve to cut back Be careful - it is definately an addiction
