SUSAN CRAWFORD SIGNS 'VINTAGE GIFTS TO KNIT'.

Susan Crawford, has written a fantastic book, "Vintage Gifts to Knit" with full instructions inside. Signed copies are on sale here now.
It is beautifully illustrated with quick projects, easy to complete for Christmas.
Susan and her husband Gavin have poured their hearts into this edition and packed it full of nostalgic graphics, with a fresh and modern feel.
Here is Susan signing books last night in our favourite Soho restaurant 'Lorelli' which has a mural of a mermaid waving goodbye. Susan had the Lorelli special pizza with extra anchovies, Gavin had the prawn and ham pizza and Louise and I had our usual Sicilliana pizza, all followed by ice cream and coffee.
You can catch our favourite Vintage knitters on the last day of the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace, tomorrow. The patterns are truly glamorous - a rare thing these days!
