New and old tried and trued books just arrived.

After 50 years of knitting, Sally Melville has become a guru of classic styles and form-flattering knits. In Mother Daughter Knits she collaborates with her daughter to deliver a book full of fresh designs for knitters of all ages, skill levels, and body types. Mother Daughter Knits contains 30 detailed and easy-to-follow patterns for garments and accessories such as a slimming Jackie Kennedy-style Camelot Coat and a reversible tank top with a scoop neck that can be worn in the front or the back.
