From the best-selling author who brought you the Knitting Over the Edge, Knitting Beyond the Edge, and many others, comes an exciting new book for knitters—this time, with an Italian accent! It’s filled with the warmth of the sun-splashed Tuscan countryside, inspired by Nicky’s visit there on a knitting tour.
Knitters will pour themselves a glass of Chianti, gaze at the gorgeous photographs, and work their way through a dozen fabulous Tuscan-styled projects (presented with step-by-step instructions). They’ll also savor the tidbits Nicky imparts about the region, its knitters, and traveling through Italy.
It’s the perfect gift for anyone who feels amore for knitting and Italia.
"Part travelogue, part pattern collection, this guide takes you sightseeing in more than half a dozen storied Tuscan towns...shares recipes and resources; and, naturally, presents 16 projects that morph local scenes and sensibilties with Epstein's signature style...[an] elegant paean to fine living." --Yarn Market News
