Books like Boyfriend sweaters by Bruce Weinstein

A practical guide to the Swedish tradition of "death cleaning," offering gentle, step‑by‑step advice for decluttering, organizing heirlooms, and simplifying home life, making the passing of items and memories easier for families.

Alanna Okun’s book explores the humorous side of knitting, showing how making a boyfriend’s sweater can end a relationship, while reflecting on the deeper meanings of craft, friendship, and the life‑cycles of knitted items.

This book presents 82 authentic folk patterns for Guernsey and Jersey sweaters, offering detailed instructions and traditional stitch patterns for both lighter weight Jerseys and heavier Guernseys.

Finding the perfect man can be difficult, but this great new book has the answer - knit your own! First decide what you want your knitted boyfriend to look like. Decide on his height, build and skin colour and then turn to the hairstyle gallery. There are woolly beards, moustaches, quiffs or dreadlocks to choose from. Then decide what he does for a living. Like a man in knitted uniform? Make your boyfriend into a chef, doctor, a fireman or a policeman. Prefer something a little smarter? Knit a suit, tie and briefcase and make him into a lawyer, banker or accountant. Or if you want something more exciting, we have patterns to make an astronaut, rock star, surfer or even an explorer. Can?t decide? Mix and match our clothing patterns to create a whole wardrobe. And the best thing about a knitted boyfriend? He doesn?t answer back!
