When most people think of their 'grandmother's knitting,' they might not immediately see the connection to a modern knitter's life. But in "My Grandmother's Knitting", Larissa Brown shows us that nothing could be further from the truth - many of the hippest and most popular knitters today found their passion for knitting under the tutelage of their grandmother or another older family member, and in this book, they share their stories, patterns inspired by their memories, and their gratitude. Among the 24 contributors to "My Grandmother's Knitting" include STC Craft authors Wendy Bernard ("Custom Knits"), Teva Durham ("Loop-d-Loop series"), Norah Gaughan ("Knitting Nature and Comfort Knitting and Crochet: Afghans"), Joan McGowan-Michael ("Knitting Lingerie Style"), and Leigh Radford ("AlterKnits series" and "One More Skein") as well as such knitting-world sensations as Jared Flood, Cookie A., Ysolda Teague, Anne Hanson, and Kay Gardiner. Whereas this author's first book with STC, Knitalong, is about relationships between people who share a love of knitting but might know each other only on the Internet, "My Grandmother's Knitting" shines a light on family. It celebrates the link between generations, and how our families make us the crafters and artists we are today.
