Book Review + Giveaway: The Ohio Knitting Mills Knitting Book The Ohio Knitting Mills Knitting Book by Steven Tatar with Denise Grollmus is available now! Tatar is the President and Creative Director of Ohio Knitting Mills, a company that offers unique virgin vintage knitwear from 1947-74 made at the historic Cleveland Ohio mill. (You can read more and see my photos from an Ohio Knitting Mills Trunk Show a few years ago.) Now with this new book, these vintage patterns can be knit by you! The book is filled with vintage-style fashions and accessories for women, with a few handsome men's patterns thrown in there too. I love The Outsider sweater and the Go-Go girl sweater dress below. Even as the patterns are vintage-inspired, flipping through the book you'll find that the patterns are really modern and in line with a lot of current trends for fall. The book also features archival illustrations of sweater sketches as well as amazing photos showcasing the history of this unique American mill. Book Giveaway Time!One lucky CRAFT readers will win a copy of The Ohio Knitting Mills Knitting Book. Just tell us why you would like this book in the comments. All comments will be closed by 5pm PST on Thursday, September 9, 2010. The lucky winner will be chosen randomly and announced later on the site.
