This expanded hardcover edition of the perennial bestseller presents a year's worth of monthly projects from one of America's most ingenious and creative knitters. Classic patterns for Aran sweaters, mittens, moccasins, and other items can be followed by intermediate to advanced knitters or adapted into original works. New features include colour photos of the 12 finished patterns, many of them reknit with contemporary yarns; an introductory tribute by the author's daughter, Meg Swanson; a new Preface by Stephanie Pearl McPhee, aka The Yarn Harlot.
