"I could NOT put Sweater Quest down! I felt as though I was
knitting the sweater along with Adrienne, felt her pain and her
joy. Once I even thought, as I was packing the car, 'Now WHERE is
that Alice Starmore sweater I was working on?' The book became that
insinuated into my psyche. I love this book."
--Annie Modesitt, author of Confessions of a Knitting Heretic
"To answer the seemingly innocent question, 'What makes knitters
knit?" Martini visits knitterly landmarks, chats with influential
figures, and ponders our peculiar habits and traditions--all the
while marking her journey's progress through an exquisite Alice
Starmore Fair Isle sweater. All roads ultimately lead back to one
simple universal truth: It's not about the wearing, it's about the
making."
--Clara Parkes, publisher of Knitter's Review and author of The
Knitter's Book of Wool
"Adrienne Martini combines her passion for knitting with her
astonishing ambition, bringing to her lovely new memoir an
enthusiasm which is infectious. Sweater Quest will have you
reaching for your needles to knit your own dream sweater, and it
belongs on every knitter's bookshelf."
--Rachael Herron, How to Knit a Love Song
