Hønsestrikk for the People

Linn Bryhn Jacobsen / Cecilie Kaurin

Hønsestrikk is a concept which came to light in the 1970s in Denmark, translating literally as Chicken knit. It involved Learning to knit by creating your own boards and putting together patterns which told a story, made a statement or showed what the makers liked to do or what made them happy. The authors of this book took their inspiration from this time and added their own twist. In this book you will find big and small projects for both children and adults with different difficultly levels. It is easy to see how you are progressing, because you complete one pattern knitting board at a time. When engaging in Hønsestrikk, you use the wool like coloured pens. This means you can choose the colours and patterns and combine them as you wish or as per the wool you have. If you make a mistake along the way it's no big deal, you just have to change the project so it works.

Needlework from the Garden

Arne Nerjordet / Carlos Zachrison

This is a cornucopia from the garden of Arne and Carlos! New this time around is the garter stitch technique, which is easy for everyone to master, regardless of age. The only requirements are two knitting needles and the ability to complete a knit stitch. The most beautiful butterflies take shape to become pot rests or seating pads, and inspiration taken from flowers, both in terms of colour and shape, is channelled into simple and some slightly more advanced projects. You'll meet Magnus the garden mouse, the picnicking hippy girls, and the bees that buzz around in the trees. There are also plenty of ideas for lovely big throws to be created from your leftover yarn.
