Product Description

Knitting in America
by Melanie Falick
Author 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.
