The patterns come in 4 sections: "Weekend in the Country," featuring patterns like Halloween Fun Sweater and Cuff-to-Cuff Kid; "A Beach Holiday," featuring selections such as Chevron Lace Top and the fashionable Amigo Top; "A Mountain Sojourn" with offerings like Side-to-Side Lace Sweater and A Touch of Norway, a colorful introduction to Nordic Knitting; and "Life in the City," with patterns like the Contrapposto Symphony Sweater and City Evening Jacket. Project skill levels range from easy to advanced, and each sweater is delightfully modeled.

New York: Random House, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Not Me is a remarkable debut novel that tells the dramatic and surprising stories of two men-father and son-through sixty years of uncertain memory, distorted history, and assumed identity. When Heshel Rosenheim, apparently suffering from Alzheimer's disease, hands his son, Michael, a box of moldy old journals, an amazing adventure begins-one that takes the reader from the concentration camps of Poland to an improbable love story during the battle for Palestine, from a cancer ward in New Jersey to a hopeless marriage in San Francisco. The journals, which seem to tell the story of Heshel's life, are so harrowing, so riveting, so passionate, and so perplexing that Michael becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about his father. As Michael struggles to come to grips with his father's elusive past, a world of complex and disturbing possibilities opens up to him-a world in which an accomplice to genocide may have turned into a virtuous… Read More
