One of the pleasures of blogging is when a lovely book shows up in my mailbox for reviewing.
Today’s book is one of the most beautiful to come along in a long time:
Knit Red: Stitching for Women’s Heart Health by Laura Zander published by sixth&spring books
Knit Red is a gorgeous book. The patterns are for knitters who are at least intermediate skill level.
There are 30 red, heart health-inspired patterns and personal stories from well loved designers- with beautiful photos and excellent charts.
It’s a compendium of gorgeous fashion accessories, with most of the patterns featuring either cable or lace work. Luscious!
As well, there are heart healthy living tips, resources and recipes- a feast for the senses. 
Knit Red is part of the Needlearts industry’s national heart disease awareness campaign, Stitch Red (http://stitchred.com/default.asp), and a percentage of it’s proceeds will support The Heart Truth®.
This is one book that would be a perfect gift for the holidays, or even better, a treat to yourself to help you make exquisite gifts from the heart!
Happy Knitting!
How beautiful! The very thing to inspire me to get off my knitting butt and actually DO something yarn-wise.
It really is a gorgeous book, and is VERY inspiring!
