The Celtic Collection: 25 Knitwear Designs for Men and Women Review

This is a great book - you will be tempted to place it on your coffee table with picture books. It starts with a few pages about the history of the Celtic people and the Celtic landscape and adds a few pages at the end about the techniques used, yarn and needle transformations, etc. Patterns include braids and textures, intarsia and Faire Isle (twisted) color techniques. Great inspiration even though I never make any of the templates.

This book is not for novice knitters. This is a Celtic knitting tutorial featuring a set of very interesting sweater patterns that need some serious alterations to look modern. The book also contains a lot of interesting historical information. I recommend it to experienced knitters who can take interesting Celtic patterns and give them a more modern look. This book was written in 1993 when we all wore sweaters and jackets at least one size larger.

This is my first Alice Starmore book. I found out about it on a knitting forum. I believe this is the only book by Alice Starmore that is still in print. This is a wonderful book and lives up to the high expectations of Alice Starmore's design on the knitting page. Beautiful sweaters, photographed on models in a breathtaking natural setting. It's a knitting book and a travel book under one cover. Its design is based on traditional motifs found in Irish jewelry and illustrations in ancient Irish
