Tracey Ullman has been known for almost 20 years as an
award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and producer, well-loved
for her eccentric and iconoclastic humour. She is also an avid
knitter, and she brings the same free-wheeling spirit to her most
recent production, a book she created with knitwear designer and
yarn-shop owner Mel Clark. Although she has been knitting since the
age of four, Ullman was, she says "helpless to make anything other
than long, holey scarves" until she met Clark, who taught her how
to follow a pattern and knit for real. Now, the two have
collaborated on a knitting book like no other. Passionate and
funny, serious and spirited, "Knit 2 Together" features lively
lessons for beginners and more than 30 original designs for
knitters of all abilities and stripes - everything from a lady's
detective hat and house slippers to a saucy apron and a table
skirt. Complete with sidebars and over 70 vibrant photographs, the
book also relates Ullman's personal stories and reflections on her
life in knitting. Elegantly designed, this one-of-a-kind brainchild
of two perfectly matched creators - one a master of knitting, the
other a master of wit - is sure to delight veteran and novice
alike.
