Viking Knits and Ancient Ornaments

Author: Elsebeth Lavold
Publisher: Trafalgar Square Books
ISBN: 164601149X
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 575

Book Description
Traditional knot and interlace patterns, combined to form uniquely striking contemporary designs. Ever since her ground-breaking book Viking Patterns for Knitting was published, Elsebeth Lavold has been recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on cabling. It was within the pages of her international bestseller—described as “an indispensable milestone in 20th century knitting literature”—that Lavold first introduced the world to her own innovation: using lifted increases to create interlace patterns, and bringing new life to the ornamental heritage of the Vikings as adornment on modern knitwear. In the years since, Lavold has sought new ideas and “design cousins” to Viking patterns to explore with her needles, and has undertaken a fascinating journey through archives, museums, libraries, and the internet. In more than a decade of continued research, she has studied cultures from all over the globe in search of similar types of ornamental expression, creating the foundation for this exciting new book: a glorious collection rich in imagery, history, patterns, and designs. Dozens of different sources of inspiration, catalogued and placed within their cultural and historical context, from all around the world. Complete, step-by-step instructions for an abundance of fresh and stunningly beautiful knit designs, presented in the book with full-color photographs. Lavold’s own painstaking analysis of a huge number of interlace motif types, displayed in both swatch and chart form, to allow you to compose your own patterns based on her research.

Book Description
Jonah Larson taught himself to crochet when he was 5 years old and gained overnight global notoriety. Jonah was born in Ethiopia and adopted as a baby, and he admits he did not always make it easy for his parents. Luckily for him and them, he found that crochet had a way of calming him down. He credits his parents with teaching him many things, especially the importance of giving back and helping others. This book grew out of Jonah's philosophy that part of living a happy life is giving to those in need. With this in mind you will find designs like hats, scarves, slippers and afghans that are easy and simple, and they make perfect gifts to give to those who find themselves in need, those who are suffering with terminal illness or someone who just needs to know that someone cares. Also included is a basic Learn to Crochet section.
