Knitting 24/7

Description

Women who love to knit are determined to find time to practice their craft, despite the many roles they fulfill throughout the day. They knit while traveling or commuting, while waiting for their kids, while socializing. Times like these call for projects that are easily transportable and have stitch patterns that are simple to memorize. Veronik Avery has created 30 such projects for Knitting 24/7, a collection of stylish clothing and accessories that make use of those "in-between" times when we're busy, yet our hands are free. Ranging from sweaters, scarves, and shrugs to hats and mitts, the projects represent both what women want to wear and what they actually have time to knit. The book's gorgeous color photographs capture women in a range of settings-a morning at work, a dinner with friends, a relaxing weekend afternoon-evoking the time of day when each wardrobe item might be worn.

Veronik Avery is the author of Knitting Classic Style (STC, 2007). Her work has appeared in the books Weekend Knitting, Handknit Holidays, Reversible Knitting (all STC), and Wrap Style, and the magazines Interweave Knits and Woman's Day. She is the owner of St-Denis Yarns, a new yarn line distributed by Classic Elite Yarns. Avery lives in Montreal.
