Following on from the success of her first title, Stitch London, Lauren O'Farrell has created another cute and quirky collection of projects, but this time with an American twist.
This unique knitting title will show you how to knit all of the most famous New York people and places, as well as some unique accessories inspired by life in the 'Big Apple' itself. Created for city chicks who don't like rules but love knitting, the projects are simple enough for beginners, yet bonkers enough to inspire more seasoned knitters. The book is brilliantly written in Lauren's sassy style, with clever tips and techniques throughout.
