A great new book from Melanie Falick, former editor of Interweave Knits and one of my personal knitting idols, just hit Rosie's shelves. Handknit Holidays was created with wintertime holidays in mind -- Christmas, Hanukkah, even Winter Solstice. The book has the high production values you'd associate with a Stewart, Tabori & Chang book -- gorgeous photography, endpapers that are reminiscent of gift wrap, artistic layouts, and plenty of charts and photographs. And, of course, fifty (50!) patterns that range from mittens, scarves and hats (including a Santa hat) to holiday-themed projects (an aran tree skirt, gift bags) to sweaters and shawls to last-minute gifts. My favorite? Well, if forced to pick, I'd probably opt for the stunning Bohus-style sweater by Véronik Avery (another favorite designer of mine). Get this one quick, 'cause it ain't gonna last on our shelves for very long...
