TODAY IS THE DAY! GET THOSE NEEDLES KNITTING!

it's the start of the summer sweater knit along today and to kick off our 2+ month party we're starting right off with a bang! i've had the pleasure of getting to know alexa & emily - the duo behind the tin can knits design powerhouse over the last few years and both of these ladies are talented, sweet and very generous. their latest release - "handmade in the uk" is sure to be a new fave in your knitting collection. filled with gorgeous and beautiful designs you get patterns for garments, accessories - even home decor! also the 2 sweaters featured in the book come in sizes 0-6mths all the way up to 4XL! amazing!
You'll find lovely photographs, illustrations, charm and that signature tin can knits style. 

you'll want to drop whatever you're making and get knitting from handmade in the uk! i couldn't resist featuring the 2 sweaters in the book - lush and windswept as both would make great summer sweater knit along projects! both the child and adult sizes are shown above.
