Many thanks to all the hard work put in by everyone at David and Charles in the making of this book. In particular Ame Verso, for commissioning this book and all of her efforts in helping make it a reality. A special thanks to designer Sam Staddon for such beautiful layouts and to Jason Jenkins for his fabulous photography. Thanks to Jane Trollope, my editor, for all of her attention to detail, patience and care given to making sense of my words. For all their incredible hard and precise work, the stitchers involved in creating the models, Sharon Atkinson, Michelle Luscombe, Eleanor Welsh, Hayley Wellock, Glenda Dickson, Clare Prowse, Sandra Doolan and Nicola Gravener, you all blow my mind with your speed and precision and I hope you’ve enjoyed making these patterns as much as I’ve enjoyed designing them. Last but not least, thank you to my wonderful family and my partner Andy.
