With a sure hand and a light touch, worldwide bestseller Debbie Macomber and her new writing partner, Mary Lou Carney, reveal that what Grandma knit into Cameron's sweater is the greatest gift of all.Debbie and Mary Lou have included simple knitting instructions and an original knitting pattern for Cameron's sweater.
