RECIPES FROM THE GOURMET KNITTER by Robin Turner to Debut at Stitches East

Great taste and fashion come together in this large collection of both knitting patterns and cooking recipes direct from the test kitchen of South Florida’s couture knitting boutiques, Great Balls of Yarn. In Recipes from the Gourmet Knitter, you’ll discover 27 stylish and relatively easy knitting patterns, coupled with 18 proven culinary delights that even the most discriminating palate will savor. Cooking and knitting are the kissing cousins of the domestic arts and this book brings the two together through vibrant, crisp photography and clean, easy-to-read instruction.

Feel comfortable and confident right away—the patterns are designed especially for newer knitters, or those recently returning to the fiber arts. Most patterns are fairly straight-forward without complicated stitches or difficult charts. An added bonus, many of the designs feature yarns from the Robin Turner Gourmet Fibers luxury collection as well as a few "showcase yarns," those special yarns we treasure from Malabrigo, Trendsetter, Prism, Lucci and AslanTrends. Retails for $19.99.
