Knitting has made a thoroughly modern comeback, and Hollywood designer and teacher Suss Cousins leads the way. With her chic creations, Suss has invented a new vocabulary for an old art, and in the process has developed a passionate following of young, hip, smart knitters for whom knitting has become the new yoga. Some of Hollywood’s hottest stars, including Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Laurence Fishburne, Rose McGowan, and Julia Sweeney, count among her celebrity students and customers, and she has designed knits for such films and television shows as *Men in Black*, *The Matrix*, *Friends*, *Frasier*, and *Will and Grace*. Bringing her ideas to a book for the first time, Suss invites knitters of all levels to make stylish, colorful projects that are both elegant and wearable. Thirty amazing projects with complete and carefully tested step-by-step instructions and patterns are featured in *Hollywood Knits*—from fabulous scarves and adorable baby clothes to gorgeous sweaters, throws, and bags, happily modeled by such icons of style as actress Julianne Moore (a friend of Suss’s), supermodel Kirsty Hume (who takes Suss’s knitting classes), and performers Julia Sweeney, Steve Weber, Maud Adams, Regina King, Noelle Beck, and Yukio Kudoh, all regular customers or students at Suss’s popular shop. Knitting for the way we live today, Suss also includes instructions for such appealing projects as a soft knitted cell phone cover, a water bottle holder, and a fuzzy little makeup bag. And this sought-after costume designer for film and television shares some of her most inspired creations, including a sexy sweater worn by Keanu Reeves in *The Matrix* and Jim Carrey’s memorable hat from *How the Grinch Stole Christmas*. Equally practical and inspirational, *Hollywood Knits* closes with a resource guide that lists where you can buy quality yarns and Suss designs nationwide. *[from the inside flap]*
