This book compiles the stories, stats, and facts of the world's most amazing knits, from a handknit Ferrari on display at the British Auto Show (knitting the car took 12 miles of yarn) to the American flag knit with utility poles and cranes—and everything in between (a plate of sushi; a handknit wedding, including the flowers and the cake; a cozy for a house). This will be a Guinness Book of World Records for knitters. Each entry features color photos, an explanation of how the object was made, and other interesting details, including how much yarn was used, how long it took to make, how many people contributed stitches, the project dimensions, and more.

A breathtaking, sensual, and page-turning chronicle that whisks you along the author’s lifelong path to spiritual enrichment, Siren’s Feast: An Edible Odyssey is a story that captures a colorful era and features over forty recipes as delectable as the journey itself.
