Poncho!
Crafts and Hobbies2016 · 136 pp

Poncho!

Denise Samson

Now it's all about ponchos! This simple garment has become a real craze, and not without reason. A poncho can be thin or thick, with or without a fringe, plain or patterned, an outer garment or something to wear to a party. The design of a poncho offers almost endless possibilities, but the common feature is the simple shape and ease of use. Denise Samson has created a book crammed with crocheted and knitted variations, in all styles and shapes. Many of the ponchos are herown design, but she has also selected her favourites from the Norwegian yarn producers' best patterns. In addition to 35 patterns for ponchos and a couple of beautiful shawls, there are also a few smart accessories to go with some of them, such as matching ear-muffs and mittens.

Fun with Yarn in Rosendal

Turid Lindeland

The inspiration for this book came from an old sock pattern and an old hotel in Rosendal in Hardanger. Turid Lindeland has given the traditional patterns a modern twist both in terms of colour and choice of models. Her vision is to be mindful of old handicraft techniques, here in terms of knitting and crocheting, and make durable products suitable for daily wear and tear. Here you'll find patterns for blankets for young and old, socks for big and small, cushions with and without patterns, covers for chairs, photo albums, mobiles, computers and much more. The difficulty level varies from very simple to that which requires a little more time and skill.
