Knit It Out: 12 Knitting Patterns with More Than 30 Variations - Laerke Bagger

Descriere Knit It Out: 12 Knitting Patterns with More Than 30 Variations - Laerke Bagger

The author of Close Knit and the creator of the Alone Together sweater, which went viral during lockdown, returns with a new collection of hip, stylish patterns, and a powerful reflection on the healing power of knitting. \nOne of Europe's most popular and talented young textile stars, L rke Bagger is also a vocal proponent of knitting as therapy. In her latest combination of memoir and knitting guide, she shares the poignant story of her relationship with her father-- from his early abandonment of the family to their reconciliation and his death. \nWoven throughout these personal essays are a number of chic and quirky new patterns--including the Inner Child sweater, the Let It All Hang Out scarf, and L rke's version of the Scandinavian classic, which she calls the Family sweater. She shows how to adapt each pattern for a child, and--in a delightful tribute to her own obsession--for a Barbie doll as well. \nAs L rke knits her way through grief, an identity crisis, and the reconstruction of her family life, she offers support for knitters on their own journeys of self-acceptance: tips for embracing imperfection, clever project-saving strategies, and the encouragement to experiment with ribbons, beads, fringes and different types of yarn. Knitters familiar with L rke's joyfully laid-back attitude will be delighted to find new avenues for their creativity. A new crop of fans will discover a wise and encouraging teacher, who celebrates rule-breaking, innovation, and the practice of knitting through your feelings.\n
