DESCRIPTION:
She likes nothing better than to have a knitting experiment go awry because it means very interesting, possibly never-before-seen things are probably hiding nearby. Cat Bordhi writes novels (Treasure Forest, Namaste Publishing, 2003) and knitting books (Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles, Passing Paws Press,
Instructions for the simple technique are illustrated with close-up photos showing every move, almost like a slow motion movie, accompanied by clear descriptions so that learners of all kinds will find it easy to get started. Sometimes I think that it is because I am tame, and so the beautiful creations that populate both novels and knitting books come nibble the grass near my feet.
