This week, as a new year begins, we welcome a beautiful new book by Marianne Isager, A Knitting Life: Back to Tversted <\/em>($47).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Marianne Isager is a knitwear designer and co-owner of Isager Yarns, based in Denmark. In this new collection, the first in a series of three, she looks back on her first 20 years in the industry. Through prose and photos, she tells the story of inheriting Ase Lund Jensen’s yarn company and workshop, and combining family life and knitting life in the small village of Tversted.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Tversted is where all the new knitwear designs in this book were photographed, a striking landscape of sea, dunes, and flora that inspired her use of color, texture, and structure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The patterns in A Knitting Life: Back to Tversted<\/em> are thoughtfully updated from Marianne Isager’s earlier designs, drawing on techniques she has returned to again and again throughout her design career.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

As ever, Isager loves to mix and match various yarns for unique color and fiber blends. In this book, she includes a full-size photo of the swatch for each project, so you can see some of this yarn blending in closer detail.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

A Knitting Life: Back to Tversted<\/em> 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<\/a>. Hope to see you soon!<\/p>\n
