The Return to Maine series includes 7 sewing patterns and 7 knitting patterns that work together to create a complete wardrobe, plus a selection of beautiful photos, stories and essays from our journeys and artisans throughout Maine.  This collection is an extension of our most popular and out-of-print By Hand: Lookbook 2: Portland, Maine and provides a more comprehensive look at the scenery and natural splendor of Maine, which provides inspiration for the accompanying collection.  This By Hand issue features a guide with all the best local shops in Camden and Belfast as well as a few noteworthy stops along the way as well as a spotlight on 7 of the lighthouses found in Maine.

By Hand: Return to Maine includes a full array of wardrobe projects for you to craft. The book also includes a selection of the best essays and writings from the Return to Maine Journal series, including:
