She fell in love with wool in Vancouver, British Columbia, while at graduate school, and there, under the influence of such color and texture, she knit her project for a Masters in Theology and the Arts, opened up a small business, Cosy Knits (literally), and hawks her wares on Etsy.com and at craft fairs. She currently makes a living by knitting, ripping, dyeing, spinning, thrifting and making up patterns in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she lives in a big row house with her husband, Ben, and two fabulous roommates.

Customer Reviews

Can't review too long...I need to start knitting...
I have been a long time reader of cosymakes blog, and I have been waiting for this book since she first announced it. I received it this morning, and it is beautiful. The work here is wonderful, I didn't see a pattern that I didn't want to make. This is the accessory book that will keep me knitting for a long time to come.

I loved this book
As a knitter and spinner who makes alot of hats, and one who unravels thrifted sweaters for it's yarn, I feel that this book was written just for me! There are great tips for recycling yarn, (I even learned a new trick), and alot of fresh patterns for uniquely shaped hats for all sized heads and accessories to knit and embellish.
I have alot of books in my collection, but in the few short weeks that I have had this book, I have looked at it more than some I have in my collection for years.

fresh ideas and cute patterns!
I love this book! The patterns are adorable, easy-to-understand, and won't break the bank! They work with or without the embellishments, which are totally adorable too! Cosette's patterns and knitted items always stand out from the crowd with their originality and playfulness.
