About this deal

I want to play with the Barbies she just used to model her new collection of patterns, all recreated in miniature. If you’re looking for an edgy knitting book with funky patterns and a lot of heart, look no further! With names like the Carpe Diem Sweater, the Bad Idea Top, and the Easy Peasy Pillow, her knits are easily translated to fit whatever mood you’re in. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

In pictures, her fringe is short and choppy, and she dresses in her own designs that feature scrap-yarn combinations that cycle through colours, gradients, techniques; Merino, polyester, bulky, sport. Knitting favours joy over profit, play over work, pacing over rush jobs, and community over isolation. I highly recommend it to all the knitters who loves to make modern garments and are looking for unexpected inspiring books!There are illustrated instructions for making socks, scarves, and sweaters—but you’ll also find ideas for creating baby suits, scrunchies, T-shirts, and even a prom dress. Put down your stitch markers, cable needles, and rulers, it's time to dive into your scrap yarn bag and throw caution to the wind. From dresses, sweaters, scrunchies and cardigans, these patterns will help you better understand some of the top-down, in-the-round techniques, as well as using multiple strands of yarn and simple colour techniques.

It is like a dummy to me, a vape in the mouth of somebody trying to quit smoking; I’m still ‘producing’ all of the time. I found circular needles were less taxing on my body because I could rest my arms lower, and I used some to make the Sophie scarf even though it wasn’t really my style (I mean, whose style is it? There are illustrated instructions for making socks, scarves and sweaters-but you'll also find ideas for creating babysuits, scrunchies, T-shirts and even a prom dress. And yet, in taking two sticks and using them to loop one long string in a way that makes something new — something that has no real purpose besides my own enjoyment of it, whether that’s a scarf for someone else, or a raglan cardigan that I’m not sure I’ll ever wear — I scratch the itch to feel productive without ever attaching financial value to that time.

Europe’s hippest textile genius throws the rulebook out the window with a knitting book like never before. Read more about the condition New: An item that is still in its original shrink wrap from the manufacturer and the original manufacturer’s seal (if applicable) has not been removed. which brings me to Lærke Bagger, a Copenhagen-based textile artist and graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.In this unique guide, she offers advice for knitters of every level, as well as fifteen basic patterns that can be varied infinitely to suit individual skill sets, tastes, and materials. Chronic fatigue has challenged my interest in being a productive member of society, which used to be quite the motivating factor in my life, however subliminally I felt it.

Is anyone still disappointed that the english version of Strik (Close Knit) by Lærke Bagger didn’t get the original pink cover? What I didn’t expect would come as a bonus of all this knit 1, purl 1 action is further rehabilitation from capitalist pressure, hence the opening primer to this column. It’s almost as if fatigue has liberated me in slow-motion, dragging me under the covers to a more anarchic and horizontal stance.
