Some of them are typical, or somewhat representative, of the nations to which the designer ascribes them; some of them are just funny. Italy may be known for its stylish knitwear and its colourful sock yarn (pretty much all of which seems to get exported), but fashionable sock knitting is not an Italian "thing" and trying to buy sock yarn in an Italian merceria will probably land you with either black and grey to make socks for Nonno or pastel shades to make socks for babies. And doing "Scottish" argyle socks with running stitch diagonals is just wrong. I'm still looking for a real Scottish diced hose pattern. Nonetheless, there are socks in this book that I really want to make - the Estonian and Latvian entries and the English gansey-patterned sock are particularly attractive. ( ) International sock knitting sensation Stephanie van der Linden shares an irresistible collection of 26 original designs inspired by global knitting traditions. In Around the World in Knitted Socks, you'll travel through world cultures by foot and try your hand at new patterns and techniques. Using stitch motifs and colors, knitting techniques and construction details, the socks blend regional knitting traditions with Stephanie's unique design flair. Drawing inspiration from signature local textiles such as Turkish kilim carpets, Japanese sashiko embroidery, Belgian lace, American quilts, and Scottish argyle tartan, each pattern is distinctly tied to both country and culture. You'll also learn traditional knitting techniques including Estonian and Latvian braids, Norwegian stranded knitting, and Austrian twisted-stitch designs. Though each pattern in Around the World in Knitted Socks draws on a different global inspiration, the thoughtful construction and attention to detail are signature elements of Stephanie's work and are showcased in both detailed photography and an illustrated glossary. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
