This week, as a new year begins, we welcome a beautiful new book by Marianne Isager, A Knitting Life: Out into the World ($47).
A Knitting Life: Out into the World is the second volume of Marianne Isager’s career retrospective, following the Danish designer as she travelled around the world beginning in the 1990’s.
Trips to Latin America, Africa, Greenland, and Nepal all informed and inspired her designs, presented in this book along with photos and prose.
As ever, Isager loves to mix and match various yarns for unique color and fiber blends.
Paging through the book, I was pleased to see Bouclé and Alpaca 3 in the mix, and Anne fell in love with this “Yakke” jacket, knit with Jensen and Silk Mohair.
A Knitting Life: Out into the World is $47, and available here at the Hillsborough Yarn Shop, along with a wide selection of Isager yarns – you can also order online for local pickup or shipping. Hope to see you soon!
