It has been a hard year in New York City for princes
and for beggars, and twenty-eight-year-old Charlie Andrews, a Wall Street
profiteer, believes he has lost everything that matters in the world when he steps out
onto the window ledge of the twenty-second floor of The Waldorf Hotel on a cold
evening five days before Christmas. He has no idea that the last call he made on his cell
phone has placed his fate in the hands of a young homeless woman who runs through
the falling snow and turns his life upside down with a brief exchange of dialogue.

Ultimate Mittens
Robin Hansen
Filled with a wide array of classic knitting patterns,
this book is, in essence, the ultimate mitten book.
The patterns are organized from simple to difficult,
and their origins range from traditional Scandinavian and Canadian Maritime patterns to more
contemporary sewn and windblock patterns from
right here in Maine. Rounding out the patterns
is useful information on caring for and repairing
woolens; tips for adding details such as buttons,
straps, or leather palms to mittens; and a list of yarn
suppliers.

So many ways to make a
simple thing like a mitten!
1. Cuff. On smaller needles cast on 27, 30 (33, 36, 39) sts. If you are striping the mitten, start
chosen stripe chart in the first rnd of knitting and continue it throughout the mitten. At the same
time, start ribbing: K 2, p 1 for 1.3, 1.5 (1.6, 2, 2.25) inches.
2. hand and thumb gore. Change to larger needles.
Thumb gore: Rnd 1: At beg of first needle, k 1, make1, k 1, make1. Place marker. The 1st st and the
marker outline the thumb gore.
Rnd 2: K even.
Rnd 3: K 1, make 1, k to st before marker, make 1. Continue to inc this way at outside edges of
thumb gore every 2nd rnd until there are 9, 9 (11,13, 13) sts between first st and marker. K even
until thumb gore measures 1.3, 1.5 (1.6, 2, 2.25) inches.
3. Thumb: Put first st and all but the 9, 9 (11, 13, 13) thumb gore sts on a holder. Shift thumb
gore sts onto 3 needles and use Twisted make 1 to cast on 2 sts above thumb hole.
11, 11 (13, 15, 15) sts.
Knit even until thumb measures 1, 1.2(1.25, 1.66, 2) in.
4. Dec thumb tip:
Rnd 1: K 2 tog, k 1 to end of rnd. 8, 8 (9, 10, 10) sts remain.
Rnd 2: K even to end of rnd.
Break yarn with 6-in. tail. With yarn needle, thread tail through remaining sts and draw up remaining
sts to close tip of thumb.
5. hand. Put hand sts onto 3 needles. Pick up 4 sts from base of thumb (1 st from each corner, 2 sts
from bottom of cast-on sts).
30, 33 (36, 39, 42) sts.

Knit even until work above cuff measures 3.125, 3.5 (3.75, 5,

Compare the length with the finished measurement (or slide it on the
recipient’s hand). And, if you have used regular stripes, you can check to
see that there are twice as many stripes between the thumbhole and the
tip as there are on the thumb gore, the thumb, or the cuff. If the mitten is seriously too short or too

If you’re happy with the length, break yarn with a 6-inch tail. With yarn needle, thread tail through
remaining sts and draw up remaining sts to close the tip. Finish.
Make second mitten. Return to step 1, and make an identical mitten. This mitten can be worn
on either hand.

Paintings of
Maine
Carl Little
Selected by Carl Little
2010 foreword book of the
Year (Art)
Take a glimpse into the
colorful world of one of
the greatest Maine—make
that American—artists of
our time. This book fully
encompasses Dalhov’s life
and work from her solo
show at the Museum of
Modern Art when she was 21 to the paintings she continues to produce
at 92. This retrospective represents an important addition to Maine and
New England art literature.
Paintings of Maine presents
the Maine landscape as seen
through the eyes of more
than a hundred artists, with
colorful historical and anecdotal commentary by Carl
Little and well-chosen quotes
to enhance the visual art. The painters represented span 150 years, from
the mid-19th century to the present. In addition to the classic artists
considered to be the core of the canon, the book covers newer painters.
Just about every medium is represented, including oils, watercolors,
acrylics, and casein.

Eric Hopkins: Above and Beyond
Carl Little
From his earliest work with glass to the stunning aerial panoramas of Maine islands that have
gained him far-reaching fame, Eric Hopkins has consistently explored boundaries—of medium,
space, and vision. Taking to the air in the early 1980s, he developed those signature views
coveted by collectors: energized renderings of coastal motifs in which horizons bend and an
archipelago of spruce-topped isles spreads across the canvas. Here you have the first book to
present a wide range of the breathtaking work of an eminent American artist.

the mostly unexplored Maine
woods. Along the way he recorded his observations on the

Nothin’ but Puffins
John McDonald
What is it about puffins that makes them so endearing? Is it their portly, wide-eyed,
toy-like appearance, or their large, brightly colored bills? Whatever the reason, you
can’t help but love them. Here we have 64 pages of puffins at their most amusing,
paired with witty commentary. This is a book the whole family will love!
Uses for Mooses
Bill Silliker Jr.
Often admired and photographed as rustic representatives of northern nature, here
moose are appreciated for something more—their comic nature. Like Nothin’ but Puffins, amusing photos are paired with witty commentary. Makes a great gift!

Good Land
Shonna Milliken
Humphrey
Troy Hull has troubles. After the death of his parents, he left college to
take up his family’s traditional lobster-fishing life. Now, thanks to poor
fishing, a misguided second mortgage, and the changing nature of his
home town, Troy finds himself faced with the loss of that life. Now Troy
must decide whether to join his friend on an illegal path to solvency or
let the straight-and-narrow take him from his beloved home. Hull Creek
is a timely tale of change on the coast of Maine and the challenges it
brings to the men who still seek their livelihood from the sea.
Set in fictional Fort Angus, Maine,
Show Me Good Land tells the story of
a small rural town struggling with
poverty and decay after decades of
prosperity. Loosely linked through
a grisly murder, its characters must
navigate the ambiguous moral
landscape of a waning community. It
is a moving, sometimes melancholy,
often funny novel about family,
community, loss, redemption, and coming home. The pleasure lies in
exploring the personalities of the characters, none of whom are all good
or all bad, and eventually deciding where the reader’s own moral lines
are drawn. Not since Carolyn Chute’s The Beans of Egypt, Maine, has a
cast of characters been so shocking, beautifully rendered, and ultimately
likeable. Watch the promotional trailer at downeastbooks.com.

Maine 2012
No one knows Maine the way DOWN EAST knows Maine, and our calendars
show Maine at its best. Tapping the talents of the leading photographers in
the state, the wall calendar features 12 favorite vistas that represent the Pine
Tree State at its finest throughout the seasons, and our engagement calendar
zooms in and out on seasonal Maine scenes with a page-a-week format
allowing plenty of room to record your own activities. These calendars are
as much keepsakes as they are a practical reminder of days and dates. Both
include tide tables and interesting curiosities about our favorite state.
