Knitting in Americaby Melanie FalickAuthor Melanie Falick traveled thousands of miles to create Knitting in America, an inspiring and revealing portrait of knitters, spinners, dyers, and breeders of fiber-producing animals. The book profiles many of this country's most fascinating artisans and farmers, and features more than thirty original patterns for adult and child-sized garments.In addition to the designer profiles, the book includes special features on locations such as a musk-oxen farm in Montana, a school in Detroit where children learn to knit before they learn to read, and a New Mexico yarn shop that supplies many of this country's top gallery artists with handspun, naturally dyed fibers.
The thirty-plus patterns in the book are mostly advanced but do include some basic styles, and range in style from traditional to contemporary.
