From New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman and master knitter Lisa Hoffman comes Faerie Knitting, a magical melding of words and yarn where the ordinary is turned into the extraordinary and where imagination becomes creation.
Includes a PDF with knitting patterns.

The magic of storytelling and the magic of knitting—woven together in 14 original patterns inspired by each story.

"How fairy tales are told and remembered has a great deal in common with knitting traditions. It is no mistake that we describe storytelling as knitting a tale, or weaving a story, or spinning a yarn."—Alice Hoffman, from the Introduction of Faerie Knitting

Featuring fourteen original fairy tales, Faerie Knitting is an entrancing collection of stories of love and loss, trust and perseverance. Seamlessly woven into the plot of each tale is a magical garment or accessory inspired by the bravery and self-reliance of the tale's heroine and brought to life through an imaginative and bespoke knit pattern.

From the Blue Heron Shawl and the Love Never Ending Cowl, to the Three Wishes Mittens and Amulet Necklace, each project is as wearable as it is magical. Lush, atmospheric photography captures the enchanted faerie domain while beautifully rendered charts and instructions are well suited for beginner and advanced knitters alike.

Presented in an elegant linen case with foil accents that evoke the fairy tale tradition, Faerie Knitting is a rare gift for creators—and lovers—of magic.

      Listeners are presented with 14 bite-sized fairy tales, each providing the inspiration for one of the knitting patterns that accompanies this audiobook. Narrator January LaVoy is the perfect match for the works. Her light tone captures the whimsical nature of the stories, with their themes of love and magic. LaVoy's narration helps to conjure the visions of the protagonists and the challenges they face. As the stories unfold, it becomes clear that knitting and storytelling share a common feature--the twisting together of threads to create something wonderful. This short, delightful listen will appeal to knitters with a love of fairies, magic, and whimsy. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
