Knitting has made a thoroughly modern comeback, and Hollywood designer and teacher Suss Cousins leads the way. With her chic creations, Suss has invented a new vocabulary for an old art, and in the process has developed a passionate following of young, hip, smart knitters for whom knitting has become the new yoga.
