Welcoming Home Baby the Handcrafted Way: 20 Quick & Creative Knitted Hats, Wraps & Cozy Cocoons for Your Newborn
Tricia Drake (Tricky to her friends) started her line of custom handknit accessories, TrickyKnits, in 2008. Shortly afterward, a customer, who also happened to be a photographer, requested that she create a piece that could be used for photographing a newborn. From that first Eskimo Kiss Hooded Cocoon came Tricia's signature pieces for newborns and toddlers, knit with colorful, bulky yarn on unexpectedly big needles and accented with her own line of chunky handspun yarns. Her distinctly original pieces sell worldwide, delighting children, parents, and photographers alike. Tricia's line of ready-made items, pattern kits, and custom designs are available at her trickyknits Web site. She and her husband live in Nashville with their seven young children.
