Description

Birger Berge is a study in apparent contradictions: he's a trained historian … and an Instagram star—a trend-setting contemporary knitter … who's deeply passionate about traditional patterns and their origins. Berge learned to knit as a child from his mother and grandmother, and for him handcrafts have become a source of comfort and creative energy, and a well of endless inspiration. Now, he combines his own distinctly modern style, a love of contrasts and dynamic color combinations, and the classic beauty of Norwegian patterning in a collection of gorgeous knitwear designs freshly adapted for an American knitting audience.
Traditional Nordic Knits by Johanna Wallin gives knitters a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of Nordic Knitting Traditions. Fifteen time-honored patterns become over 40 different projects, gracing mittens, gloves, hats, and socks through designs suitable for all levels of experience, and each project is introduced with an example of a historic knitted item and a fascinating explanation of the pattern's background and origin. With over 80 full-color photographs, this book will make a stunning addition to any knitter's library and is a perfect choice for knitters interested in classic patterns and knitting history. Author Johanna Wallin Format: hardcover Total Page Count: 160 Illustrations: 82 color photos, 88 charts, 44 illustrations
