The third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series!
Knitted gifts are treasured, whatever the season. Designs unique to Newfoundland are made to keep loved ones warm all year long -- even during early summer when icebergs chill the air in the region.
Capture your heart's desire with a spring cap or bonnet. Explore the spectacular coastline wearing knitted socks and fine woolen gloves. Prepare for the cool months of autumn and winter with fashionable trigger mitts and hats. And warm up your home with cozy cushions and lovely tea cozies.
With this latest in the best-selling Saltwater Knits series, Christine LeGrow and Shirley A. Scott offer some of Newfoundland's most beloved knitwear designs. They also reveal the cultural heritage of these distinctive patterns and demonstrate why they are highly valued by those who live on this island known as "The Rock."
Vivid photographs provide inspiration, but you are also encouraged to select your own colors -- thereby making your gifts distinctive. Like other books in this series, Saltwater Gifts includes tips, tricks, and stories. All patterns are rated by difficulty and clearly presented for today's knitters.
Christine LeGrow of Spindrift Handknits and Shirley A. Scott ("Shirl the Purl") have collected and studied mittens from across Newfoundland for the past 40 years.

Their first book in the Saltwater Knits series, Saltwater Mittens from the Island of Newfoundland (9781775234586), is a bestseller and won the Best Atlantic Published Book Award in 2019. The second book in the series is Saltwater Classics: Caps, Vamps and Mittens from the Island of Newfoundland (9781989417010).
