Rich history and source of information

This is a wonderful book. The first half is a scholarly but interesting and accessible description of traditional Icelandic knitted shoe insoles. The second half uses unique traditional patterns and simple techniques in different knitting patterns. Beautiful and successful pictures. I love it!

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Traditional and modern use of Icelandic patterns

I love Helen Magnusson's work. I recently had the pleasure of meeting her in Reykjavik and she is lovely. I bought her book before the trip (Icelandic Handknits) along with several books on textile arts in Iceland. Your dominance over others. When I came back I bought it and was not disappointed. She takes traditional Icelandic patterns and reinterprets them not only with information about traditional uses, but also for more modern uses. This is a beautiful book with really helpful content.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Great photos and history of Icelandic knitting

I found this book to be a fascinating history of Icelandic knitting. Much of the book is devoted to the historical Icelandic tradition of knitting shoe insoles.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
