Europe's hippest textile genius throws the rulebook out the window
with a knitting book like never before. Tired of dowdy knitting
patterns? Bored of videos made by traditionalists with no sense of
fun? Freaked out by complicated instructions that leave no room for
mistakes? Do you want to learn to knit fur? How about some funky
patterns for children's clothes that kids will love? Well, Laerke
Bagger is here for you. Known for her exuberant use of color and
textures, this young textile artist is rapidly gaining a fanatical
worldwide following. In this unique guide, she offers advice for
knitters of every level, as well as fifteen basic patterns that can
be varied infinitely to suit individual skill sets, tastes, and
materials. There are illustrated instructions for making socks,
scarves and sweaters-but you'll also find ideas for creating
babysuits, scrunchies, T-shirts and even a prom dress. In addition
to eschewing perfection, the Laerke Bagger technique involves tying
knots instead of sewing the ends of yarn, recycling every inch of
wool, and letting mistakes be a part of the design. With names like
the Carpe Diem Sweater, the Bad Idea Top and the Easy Peasy Pillow,
her knits are easily translated to fit whatever mood you're in.
Along the way, Laerke Bagger dispenses unique pearls of wisdom for
living in today's hectic world.
