Growing up in Ukraine, my mother often made us our clothing. Sometimes it was from an old curtain that was getting no use, sometimes from scraps of fabric that came from my grandma, and rarely from a new piece of fabric - she knew how to create something amazing out of ordinary items. She knitted us little socks and sometimes a sweater. I remember being in awe of how she was able to take something like a strand of wool or a flat sheet of fabric and create something three-dimensional.

Once I was about six years old, I wanted to give it a try, too. My mom patiently taught me the crafts and I took off running. I made clothing for my doll and repeatedly asked my grandma for scraps of fabric and yarn, which she always gifted to me if she had them. I continued these two crafts (with others sprinkled in) on and off throughout my childhood and then into adulthood.

When I became a mother, I stuck to knitting more so than sewing, as I could do it anywhere, and it didn't take much effort or physical energy, which I was running short on in those days. One day, I had an idea pop up in my mind of a yoke sweater. When I couldn't find a pattern that resembled the image in my mind, I humbly and nervously decided to try to design it myself. That later became my first self-published knitting pattern, and I was hooked!

I hope this book gives you plenty of reasons to cast on yet another project, and I hope the sweaters keep you cozy. Let your handiwork be worn often, mended and be passed on through generations.
