Editorial Reviews

"Excellent close-up pictures show embellishment details…The best part, however, is the designs themselves…”—Creative Knitting Magazine

“With 30 designs to choose from, you will find moccasins, clogs, and slippers, with short and long cuffs. And if you haven’t met Arne and Carlos before: be prepared, they are charming!”—Examiner.com



Authors will know they've arrived when first names only headline their latest work. For Norwegian artists Arne (Nerjordet) and Carlos (Zachrison), that's one of the highest accolades—considering that their multiple tomes (e.g., Knit and Crochet Garden, 2013, among others) experience delayed publication dates in the U.S. Nonetheless, the subject is timely—and filled with two-and-a-half dozen colorful slippers. They offer three forms—clogs with a cuff and slippers with shorter and longer cuffs—crafted in colorful, multicultural patterns. Flowers are big, with roses, tulips, and generic blooms adorning the shoes. Both Scandinavian and Native American themes factor into the choices, too, whether fringed, embellished with horses or reindeer, or borrowed from traditional Norwegian designs. The upfront general directions set the stage for knitting do's and don'ts (like don't twist the cast–on row), while each design receives its own special individualized instruction, including graphs, charts, top–notch color photographs, and direction, with materials needed and notes. Arne and Carlos always leave needleworkers wondering what's next. —Barbara Jacobs, Booklist
