Review on 🧶 Exploring Global Knitting Colors: Inspiring Designs from Around the World by Karla Richter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really good

The big problem with this book is that the sweaters are too big so you have to rearrange them to fit (most of the time!). The cover sweater is an example. In addition, some of them are unnecessarily complex. But still enough to make it worth buying, plus I liked the travel story commentary. This is KF in the vest Steps on page 158? He's aged a lot if he is that. Mably, whom I have never seen, seems to be a very good man, and has learned much from his friend Kaffe. Sweaters I like and might even make: Landscape Jacket, page 52, Check Jacket, page 84, Striped Check, page 94 (no actual pattern required). Markov's jacket, p. 100, Peruvian vest, p. 110 (very fine), Diamond Throw, p. 118, Vintage waistcoat, p. 140, glacier jacket, p. 150. So 8 projects. It's all there and there are many charts. In addition, the choice of colors is good and the photos are beautiful. I once made his checkers sweater and was really tired of this intricate design so the ones I like here are easy to make. The yarn consists entirely of mountain ash, but can easily be substituted with another yarn of the same weight. Feeling like an adventurer? take action. Feeling like an adventurer? take action.
