Description

The definitive guide to designing and knitting in the Irish Aran tradition, this highly sought after book returns to print after a decade’s absence in a revised and expanded version. The writer of many knitting classics, Alice Starmore is the world over renowned as a knitwear designer and an expert on knitting technique. In this guide, she presents an interesting history of Aran knitting and an analysis of the traditional style, along with a complete workshop in technique, pattern, and design.
“Highly really useful” by Library Journal, this volume offers step by step instructions, photographs, and drawings. It provides complete directions and charted patterns for the original edition’s fourteen designs — many of them reknit in latest yarns — plus a new design. Patterns include the St. Brigid, probably the most writer’s hottest hand-knitted designs, which represents a step forward from Aran knitting into the realm of Celtic design. Brilliant color photographs depict all the finished caps, sweaters, and shawls. Sixty easy-to-read charted patterns guide readers through the design process and encourage the development of unique patterns. Beginners and experienced knitters alike will cherish this comprehensive guide to a beloved craft.
