designs based on Scandinavian and Icelandic knitting
traditions

hats, tams, gloves, mittens, cowls, legwarmers, calf-length
and knee-high socks while being aided by tips and tricks for
colorwork knitting techniques, custom fitting and construction
from the author

• A witty, kooky take on an established craft
Stitch New York will take the reader on a tour of the knitty city from
money-munching Manhattan to the bohemian beat of the Bronx, in
stitched style. Readers will be star-struck meeting knitted New Yorkers
including Woody Allen, Holly Golightly and two heroic firefighters,
terrified by knitted King Kong and awe-struck by the stitched Statue
of Liberty.
