Hollywood Knits Style: A Guide to Good Knitting and Good Living

Suss Cousins makes it soo easy to knit new projects. Her directions/patterns are very easy to follow! Highly recommended!

This is a follow-up to Cousins' first book, "Hollywood Knits" I thought the 2nd book was actually better than the first. Not only does Cousins include patterns and helpful tips and hints - she also includes lots of anecdotes and stories about each item she has knit. She has lots of ideas for knitting get-togethers and even recipes. This book is great to actually read and not just use for patterns. Also, the patterns are for very different and unique items. The book is very different from the usual knitting book - I love it!

I just wanted to take a moment to write and say how much I have enjoyed the book, Hollywood Knits Style. I am a fairly new knitter (about 6 months) I actually learned to knit just before I left Los Angeles. Having moved back to North Carolina (very small town, Highlands) I have just let the knitting bug take me over. I can't stop myself. In fact sometimes my boyfriend will say "Caroline, can you put it down for a bit." I have enjoyed making many of the patterns in the book, esp, the purses, bags, and Ponchos. I have been in the fashion/retail industry for over 14 years, and am actually starting to sell/consign some of my items in local shops. Really exciting! I'm on my way back to LA for the month of February, and look forward to checking out your store, and hopefully taking some classes. Just wanted to let you know that you, and your book have inspired me. Both with my knitting, and seeing where you have taken your knitting business gives me energy to go on. Thanks! Caroline Brown

This book is wonderful. I thought the first was was great, but this book is even better. Thank you suss for your orginality and keeping knitters current!

I love Hollywood Knits Style, even enjoying it much more then the first one. Her clever creativity and the fearlessness of combining textures and colors--not to mention her detailing--is very inspiring and you don't see it in other knitting books. Her women's sweaters are very feminine and body flattering. I have already ordered yarn from her website and can't wait to receive it and start knitting. I also liked the fact that Suss shared her favorite recepies with the reader. That takes me back to my childhood memories of my mom, who was always either knitting or cooking. My only concern with the recepies in the book is that the picture could have been bigger.
