Review on 🧶 The Rich Thread of Family: Inspiring Knits & Stories from Top Designers in 'My Grandmother's Knitting' by Sasha Hsiao

This delightful knitting book brings together family knitting stories written by many great knitters. Some of the members are Meg Swanson, Jared Flood, Pam Allen, Isolde Teague, Lee Radford and Ann Hanson. Although the patterns in this book are not family patterns, many of them are inspired by the designer's family. . Some of the ones that really touched me are the Afghan family tree created by Larissa Brown, inspired by her grandmother's love of knitting Afghan things. Designer Judy Becker's grandmother's fan was inspired by vintage lace medallions inherited from her family. Crayon Cowls was designed by Kirsten Kapoor, inspired by her great aunts. Kristin Sparkland designed the rose and cross sweater based on a traditional Norwegian design. Minerva Bonnet by Teva Durham is inspired by what her grandmother created and wore. The Crocus Patch Baby Blanket is simply amazing, designed by Ann Hanson and inspired by her grandmother who has been knitting blankets all her life. It has a beautiful lace motif. The Edna floppy hat was designed by Lee Radford, who was inspired by her grandmother. Hannah Britz's Thundercloud Shawlet is inspired by Elizabeth Zimmerman. The stories are whimsical and enjoyable to read, and each knitter adds their own wisdom, advice, and knowledge. The charts are well written, nice to look at and there are a few I'd like to link to.
