Dedication For my mom, who nurtured my love
for both books and fashion. Acknowledgments Thanks most of all to my agent, Lindsay Edgecomb, who conceived the idea for this book and was generous enough to entrust it to me. Thanks to Roxane Cerda and Cindy Kitchel, both thoughtful, engaged, and just plain fun editors; to project editors Charlotte Kughen and Carol Pogoni, who carefully whipped my manuscript into shape; and scrupulous and elegant technical editor Therese Chynoweth, who deciphered even my clumsiest instructions, smoothed out the lumps, and gave the patterns precision. Thanks to my many friends and their children who were kind enough to model my patterns: Elise Artzer; Brian, Briza, Loretta, and Stanley Buscemi; Lucy Friedman; Rebecca Gonzales; Trish Hurless and her daughter Sadie Rose; Kyplee, Kailynn, and Treyanne Jacobsen (and their mom, Sherri); Suzanne Link and Jay Mahavier; Kristi Lohr; Rachel Kieserman; Marilyn Martinez and her daughter Ruby Martinez-Jones; Ron Miller; Charlene Osman; Lester Saucier; and Jennifer, Lucy, Sam, and Jacob Schermerhorn. Thanks to Gilbert Garcia and Yolanda Torres for use of their cars for Sal Paradise, and to W3LL PEOPLE and makeup artist Christine Stafford for location and makeup for Emma. Special thanks also to Ron for all the style input, and forgiving the embroidery scissors and darning needles scattered underfoot and in the bed, and for helping me keep up with the rest of my life while I was knitting and knitting and knitting.

Finally, a big thanks to all the companies that provided yarn support (thats free yarn to you and me): Spincycle Yarns, Malabrigo Yarn, Colourmart, Cascade Yarns, Louet, Valley Yarns, Blue Sky Alpacas, Lion Brand Yarn, The Wicked Stitch, and Knit Picks.
