So Much More Than a Knitting Book!
This book is so much more than a book on knitting--it's full of the history and culture of the Shetland Islands and, in particular, Fair Isle. The photos of the area are breath-taking, as are the photos of Starmore's beautiful Fair Isle knitwear patterns. She places her knitwear side-by-side with photos of her inspirations: flora, fauna, pebbles, shells, sand, sea, buildings, taxis, and whatever else catches her fancy and starts her creative juices flowing. In this book, Starmore has written the most authoritative tutorial on Fair Isle knitting I have come across in my many years of knitting and acquiring books of knitting instruction. She includes in it hundreds of graphs of Fair Isle and Norwegian color work patterns and borders that the reader may mix and match to create unique, colorful Fair Isle knitwear. I am in love with this book and am planning a visit to the Shetland Islands to experience first-hand the beauty that Alice Starmore so skillfully wove into her Book of Fair Isle Knitting. It is truly a master work and inspiration to the lover of knitting and color!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
