Review on πŸ›οΈ Capitol Knits: Modern Designs Inspired by Washington DC's Capital, Vol. 1 by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Elegant yet wearable. The perfect combination of the right yarn and the right project

Tanis Gray never disappoints. She is the designer of unique yet extremely useful and comfortable hand knitted garments that always celebrate the perfect combination of form, function and fibre. Capitol Knits, her self-photography and self-publishing in homage to her new hometown of Washington, DC, features her designs for a dozen sweaters, shawls, and accessories that can be knit, worn, and accessible to novice knitters, yet fresh and fun for us who are more experienced . (I have two Capitol scarves in two different yarns that will go in a jiffy!) Her Vogue Kitting experience as yarn editor shines in her choice of fibers for this book, and the colors are fresh and original. Capitol Knits is a book I will enjoy and give away for a long time.
