Grannies, Inc. Guide to Knitting: Learn Tips, Techniques and Patterns from the Best

by Katie Mowat

The guide to knitting written by the only true experts—grannies When it comes to knitting, who knows better than your grandma? If you get tangled in a ball of wool, she's always the first person you call to help you sort your cross stitch from your cable. While recruiting for her fledgling online knitwear company, Katie Mowat swiftly realized that it was mainly older women, namely grandmas, who were volunteering their services, and so Grannies Inc. was born. Since 2009 they have gone from strength to strength, and from one product (beanies) to designing and producing a whole range of knitwear. Her crack squad of 15 grannies contribute their "purls" of wisdom and patterns to help the new knitting generation in this attractive book. With knitting patterns for snoods, legwarmers, slouch socks, laptop cases, and beanies, knitters will be cool and cozy in no time.
