Travel Knits for the Family

Note: Errata available here.

I’m pretty darned excited to introduce to you Travel Knits for the Family: Volume 1 – Into the Cold. I’ve been working on this book for well over a year now, and I’m so pleased to share it with you.

The book is filled with patterns for the whole family (or just you!) and the idea is that they are the items you need to pack whenever you are traveling somewhere cold. Or those things you always need on hand if you live somewhere cold, like me.

My family and I traveled extensively during our two years living abroad, visiting 14 countries on 3 continents. Over the course of all that traveling we became expert packers. After mis-packing a time or two we narrowed down the essentials that needed bringing every time. And then I realized that that list of essentials was a knitting collection* in the making.

        *Actually, it’s two collections! Stay tuned for Volume 2 – Into the Sun.

So here I present to you: Men’s, women’s, and children’s sweaters, hats, mittens, slippers, and a travel knitting project (of course). The patterns are written for a wide range of sizes so everyone in the family should be covered. The garment patterns include schematics so you can adjust sizing as necessary. There are both charted and written instructions where applicable, and the book contains a handy Special Techniques section in the back with photo tutorials for your reference.
