Jorid Linvik's Big Book of Christmas Knits

- Reviews -

Jorid Linvik' s Big Book of Christmas Knits has it all - ornaments, stockings, mittens, and toys all with a Scandinavian flair. You could spend an entire year knitting projects from this book. --Edie Eckman This book is a happy book. It is an animal-filled hootenanny, where tigers, penguins, zebra, poodles, terriers, sheep, giraffes, cats and more cavort along side some more traditional-ish mitten motifs. You' ll find hearts, knotwork, diamonds and speckles in there, and other fun motifs like an electric guitar. But it' s the beasties that steal the show. They are full of personality, not the usual stiff renderings. The main motifs are surrounded by smaller patterns and the palms and thumbs are rarely left plain--some even boast additional motifs. There is useful information at the beginning of the book on how to read the mitten patterns and tips to knit these mittens, like adjusting the size by changing the gauge. This isn' t a book for a beginning knitter, but there are patterns that could be first-time colorwork projects. Inspired and adventurous? The back of the book has charts and directions to design your own mittens. This book is going to get a workout this winter. The shape isn' t tricky and the different designs are enthralling. First up will be Mother Squirrel--the motif is a mama and her baby. I want to send a pair to my daughter for her first winter away at college (sniff). --www. knitty. com A solidly built hard-bound book with abundant full-color photographs, easy-to-copy charts, and ample margins for note-taking. But it' s what the photographs and charts depict that make this book a must-have!" --Knitter' s Review "Creative patterns that play off traditional Scandinavian designs with funky colors and exotic animal motifs. " --Publishers Weekly "The design work is unique, delightful, interesting, and compelling . . . A truly beautiful book, and I' m delighted to recommend it to other knitting enthusiasts. " --KnittingandCrochet. net-- "Jorid Linvik' s Big Book of Knitted Mittens"
