But in My Grandmother's Knitting , Larissa Brown shows us that nothing could be further from the truth.

Praise for My Grandmother's Knitting "This is a pattern book with a twist. . . . Full of useful information and easy-to-knit garments, Custom Knits 2 is a good choice for knitters looking to adapt designs and venture into designing their own garments." -- Creative Knitting Magazine "In [ My Grandmother's Knitting ], Brown weaves family stories and early knitting memories of her interview subjects into poignant evidence that today's knitters have a strong connection to the knitters who came before them." -- CraftSanity "This is a thoroughly charming book . . . A heartfelt celebration of shared creativity." --Knitty.com "Wonderful family stories are shared by those such as Meg Swansen, Norah Gaughan, Kirsten Kapur and Kay Gardiner.
