SynopsisAuthor 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 most complete survey yet published on the scope and influence of this vital art form in America, 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 designed especially for Knitting in America. 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 range in difficulty from basic to advanced and in style from traditional to contemporary. The patterns are clear, the charts easy to read, and a complete listing of mail-order sources ensures that the patterns can be executed to perfection., 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.

Every Fiber Lover's Must Have Book !
I own three copies of this book, because when I teach knitting, or meet with other spinners, the conversations always include the "dream life" of raising our own sheep, spinning the wool, and knitting fabulous and beautiful treasures. This book is the "Must Have" for anyone with those dreams. It's a beautifully written book: interesting and informative as each chapter interviews a fiber artist in her own space. It's also beautifully photographed! Every page is an homage to the book's purpose, which is to portray a lifestyle that is a dream to so many. The book itself is large, so the photographs can take an entire page, as though they are true art rather than just helpful photographs. Please consider giving this book to every knitter, spinner, "someday I want to have a sheep or two" dreamer....no matter if she's seventeen or seventy! This book is a treasure!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
