Knitting out of Africa
Knitting Out of Africa
ISBN: 11931499985
date of review publication:
Spring 2006, Vogue Knitting
Imagine the breathtaking beauty of the Dark Continent at your needletips, and you’ll have an idea of what you’ll find in Isager’s new book. Graced with eighteen sweater and vest designs, Knitting out of Africa is nothing short of inspirational, as the patterns represent the natural
landscapes, wildlife and traditional motifs of African textiles. Isager embraces age-old designs like a Showa vest and block designs from the Asante people of Ghana, and adds modern flair be integrating advanced knitting techniques such as entrelac, double knitting, and Fair Isle. The result?
Stunning garments that transcend time and culture. Some of the patterns might call form more complex stitchwork than what you’re accustomed to, but
the lovely end products will spur you on.
