Suss Launches Knitting Primer
Hand-knit cellphone cases, neck warmers and bridal evening bags are among the 30 design projects highlighted in Suss Cousins’ new book, “Hollywood Knits.” Published by Stewart Tobori & Chang, the how-to primer on knitting took a year to finish for the busy Cousins, who also operates her Suss Design store on Beverly Boulevard, manages 200 wholesale accounts and provides her wares to movies and stylists.
Cousins, who celebrated the book’s Nov. 1 debut with champagne bellinis and bagels at her 8-year-old boutique, said her approach to the book was pragmatic. “I made the book very easy to follow on purpose—I want to get people started,” she said. “Then they can read my next book, for intermediate knitters.” —Nola Sarkisian-Miller
