A Fiber Artist's Memoir of Family Resilience, Cancer Caregiving, and Creative Design

Renowned knitwear designer Annie Modesitt chronicles a pivotal year in her life following her husband Gerry's diagnosis with Multiple Myeloma, a serious plasma cell cancer. Written in diary form adapted from her personal journal entries and blog posts, the memoir documents the medical challenges, hospital visits, and emotional demands of caregiving while maintaining her family life and design career.

Throughout her husband's treatment, Modesitt uses her knitting needles and yarn studio as a therapeutic sanctuary, designing intricate garments—including a red carpet lace evening gown—to navigate grief and uncertainty. The book includes original knitting patterns and essays reflecting on the intersection of fiber arts, resilience, and personal healing.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Annie Modesitt delivers an honest, moving memoir that highlights the therapeutic power of fiber arts during severe family health crises. Combining candid caregiving reflections with original garment patterns, this book offers comfort and inspiration to knitters, caregivers, and memoir lovers.
