Big Splash Knits presents more than 20 outerwear knitting projects perfect for a boil-up in the woods, a hike by the sea, or a trot around town. Each pattern is accompanied by expertly and clearly written instructions and inspirational full-colour photographs. Helpful tips and colourful stories round out this collection. Written by Shirley A. Scott, with the same passion and attention to detail as the award-winning Saltwater Knits series, Big Splash Knits will appeal to a wide range of knitters. Big Splash Knits designs are inspired by the traditions of Atlantic Canada, showcasing a love of life by the ocean that will resonate with neighbours in New England and like-minded knitters in Europe and Scandinavia. Shirley A. Scott, also known as "Shirl the Purl," has made her home in St. John's since 2006. A librarian by profession, in 1989 she wrote Canada Knits, a history of Canadian knitting. Shirley is a lifelong knitter with a keen interest in the fascinating traditions of Newfoundland and Labrador. Shirley co-authored four popular books, Saltwater Mittens, Saltwater Classics, Saltwater Gifts and Saltwater Socks. Saltwater Mittens won the Best Atlantic Published Book Award in 2019 and the Saltwater Knitting series won the 2021 Atlantic Canada Craft Award for Excellence in Product Design.
