 Item #B01029 (Book) -- $59.95 Sold outTraditional Knitting from the Scottish and Irish Isles Edited by Debbie Bliss |
| Out of print The Western Isles, The Shetlands, and The Aran Islands (Scottish and Irish isles) provide the inspiration for Debbie Bliss's latest collection of designer knitting patterns. Originally created by the women of these remote and rugged islands, many of the patterns have been handed down from mother to daughter for generations, without any sort of written record. Distinctive motifs -- with names such as starfish, harbor steps, fishing net, and wave -- celebrate a unique way of life ruled by the sea. Debbie Bliss has used this tradition for a range of warm, practical, and beautiful designs that will delight the whole family: chunky Aran sweaters; subtly shaded Fair Isle cardigans, sweaters, and pullovers; delicate Shetland lace shawls; and sturdy ganseys. Full instructions are given for thirty patterns, together with details of traditional stitches and motifs, and appropriate color schemes. 120 pages hardback. |
