Synopsis:

"Mother of Purl", written in Edith's warm, humorous but no-nonsense voice, allows readers to feel as though she is there knitting alongside them. The book combines clear instructions that Edith has honed over thirty years of teaching with the refined Parisienne styling and sophistication that has drawn the elite of Hollywood and fashion stylists to rely on her. Packed with hundreds of Edith's secret tips, dozens of longer-format "Tips from the Top," and multiple celebrity anecdotes, "Mother of Purl" will be to knitters what "The Joy of Cooking" is to chefs. It is an invaluable reference, warm and witty, packed with practical techniques, inspiring projects and the kind of insight that only comes from thirty years of teaching experience.
