Pre-Order Sally Melville’s New Book!!
Sally Melville has joined forces with her daughter, Caddy Melville Ledbetter, to write a must-have book for any serious knitter. Mother – Daughter Knits: 30 Designs to Flatter and Fit goes beyond bringing us 30 gorgeous new patterns (which it does), but also brings us a tutorial on finding the fit that will flatter us the most. How many times have we fallen in love with a pattern, only to be disappointed with how it looks on us? The first section of this book – “Knit to Fit and Flatter” – takes the guesswork out of picking a pattern, informing us with invaluable knowledge about what shapes, sizes, lengths, etc. will work with our body shape – not just the “perfect bodies” of the magazine models. The next two sections “The Grape & the Wine: Thoughts to an Adult Daughter” and “Like Mother, Like Daughter…or Not: Thoughts from an Adult Daughter” both contain the patterns, written with clear instructions and lovely pictures. Interspersed throughout are insights into the hearts and minds of both of these talented ladies.
To pre-order “Mother – Daughter Knits”, please call Knitters Mercantile at 614-888-8551, or visit us online at Knitters Mercantile. The book is expected in March 2009. (Hard cover, 159 pages, $29.95)
Sally will be teaching again this year at Knitters Connection (June 17 – 20, 2009). One of her classes – Knit to Flatter and Fit – will allow you to experience first hand that which she and Caddy so eloquently write about in this book.
