This is the 2nd book by Claudia Quintanilla who is a yarn shop owner and knitwear designer based in Toronto, Canada and is originally from El Salvador.

The new Memory Lane book is an enchanting collection featuring 19 patterns for adults and inviting you to discover the magic of Claudia’s unique blend of tradition and artistry inspired by her childhood in El Salvador — from lush orange trees on her grandfather’s farm to the memory of her mother's soothing voice. . Through thoughtful embellishments, such as embroidery, lace, beads and crochet, elegantly simple designs are transformed into magnificent, one-of-a-kind pieces. 

• 19 patterns: 14 sweaters, 1 sleeveless top, 3 cardigans, 1 collar.

• Patterns for sweaters and cardigans come in 8–9 sizes and are graded to fit up to at least a 152 cm chest circumference.

Memory Lane: Embellished Knits to Cherish explores how we can infuse meaning into pieces we create and wear. Embellishing involves modifying a garment to make it uniquely ours: a deeply personal and creative way of reflecting our memories of people, places and traditions in our making. 

“My goal was to create exceptional pieces, each sweater beautiful even without embellishments but adorned in ways that evoke dreams and memories — special moments filled with joy, gratitude and passion.”
