Knit 2 Together

Tracey Ullman has been known for almost 20 years as an award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and producer, well-loved for her eccentric and iconoclastic humour. She is also an avid knitter, and she brings the same free-wheeling spirit to her most recent production, a book she created with knitwear designer and yarn-shop owner Mel Clark. Although she has been knitting since the age of four, Ullman was, she says "helpless to make anything other than long, holey scarves" until she met Clark, who taught her how to follow a pattern and knit for real. Now, the two have collaborated on a knitting book like no other. Passionate and funny, serious and spirited, "Knit 2 Together" features lively lessons for beginners and more than 30 original designs for knitters of all abilities and stripes - everything from a lady's detective hat and house slippers to a saucy apron and a table skirt. Complete with sidebars and over 70 vibrant photographs, the book also relates Ullman's personal stories and reflections on her life in knitting. Elegantly designed, this one-of-a-kind brainchild of two perfectly matched creators - one a master of knitting, the other a master of wit - is sure to delight veteran and novice alike.
