Review on 📚 Nicky Epstein's Knitting on Top of the World: A Global Guide to Traditions, Techniques & Design - Paperback Book by Karla Richter

Being a purist when it comes to folk knitting, I had a hard time appreciating these fashion designs (like the cape, which is based on two giant Fair Isle tampons) . It looks like the writer/designer really enjoyed creating these unique designs and they are beautifully photographed. Most of the color patterns are very simple, some pairing with very simple designs that seemed out of place in the book compared to the more complex designs. Alternatively, some of the more elaborate garments featured very simple color patterns that were more of a distraction than an enhancement to the overall design. Of all the designs inspired by folk knitting, there were only two in my opinion, combining the best of both worlds: a unique design by Nicky Epstein, all wrapped up in a beautiful, feminine and elegant sweater. Also note that if you use the yarn from the pattern, the yarn cost to make it is extremely high), "Mongolian Warrior Sweater" (to be honest, there is nothing ethnic about this sweater, a very unique woven stripe design, reminiscent a knitted rug made of woven knitted yarn strips), and the "Entrelac Paris Cape", which is a cape and sweater in one, is very unique and beautiful. Hy-Rio the fire breathing dragon is also very cute and well done, classic Nicky Epstein. All in all, if you love Nicky Epstein, you'll probably like this book, too, but if you're looking for traditional Fair Isle or Norwegian/Northern European and British designs, you won't find them here. feminine and elegant sweater.
