Overview

Nicky Epstein’s blockbuster Edge titles have sold more than 125,000 copies; she’s a needlework star whose every book is eagerly anticipated and snatched up. Now Nicky’s giving devoted readers her most important and wide-ranging collection of patterns yet: a worldwide tour of knitting traditions and techniques, including colorwork, cables, lace, intarsia, and more. She explains the origins and traditional uses of each one, and then goes on to reinvigorate and recombine all these beloved styles in her inimitable way. The result: more than 40 all-new, innovative designs collected in an attractively designed book with a handy ribbon marker. There’s a Celtic Pullover with braided twisted rib strips; a Snowflake Tunic from the Far North; a Felted Tyrolean Capelet with appliqué, cord, and balls; a Spanish Rose Pullover with lace accents; a colorful Peruvian skirt; and an oversized, zipped Navajo Blanket Jacket.
Colorful maps and historical photos make this collection a visual treat, as well as an invaluable tool for knitters seeking new inspiration.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Prolific knitwear designer Epstein (the "Edgings" series) applies her considerable skill and knowledge to knitwear patterns inspired by geographic locales and informed by local traditions. The garments and accessories in this book include an Orenburg lace-inspired camisole, several sweaters using Fair Isle colorwork techniques, and an Aran-knitted jacket with knitted rose embellishments. With its emphasis on colorwork and surface design, this isn't a book for beginner knitters, but knitters looking for a challenge will appreciate the beautiful designs. As educational as it is creative; essential for knitting collections.

    A Must Have for your Knitting Library

    I highly recommend this book be added to any knitter's library whether he's a new knitter or she's an old hand at the skill. If all else fails, this book makes a wonderful coffee table book for knitters in the know.

    New knitters may require assistance with their first attempts using this book but it is well worth it.

    Beautiful Book

    Nicky Epstein goes above and beyond in this book. Yes, there is alot of over the top projects, but someone once told me "life is too short for the ordinary". There are alot of everyday wearable and you could also modify with her help.. Great book.
