Aradnes threads
Hardcove with thread stitching Greece, with its famous classical architecture and beautiful landscape, offers a treasure trove of motifs and moods. The passionate knitter Sylvia Tsoúkas was inspired by forms such as balcony railings, mosaic floors, house facades, excavation sites and antique motifs and developed 44 different knitting patterns. The designs in this book are timeless and yet unique in their range of shapes and colours. You will find instructions for small and large projects: accessories such as wrist warmers, hats, a bridal stole, a women's and men's scarf, loop, a headband, socks and children's bed shoes; Items of clothing such as a men's hoodie that also suits women, a baby jumper, a women's jacket and a knitted dress that is suitable for everyday use but elegant and chic; an abundance of bags such as clutches, cell phone and tablet cases, pompadour, pencil cases and shoulder bags, as well as multicolored and single-colored cushions, three large blankets and a plaid. The author tells humorously how the models came about and what inspired her to design them. The experiences and occurrences take you to the land of inspiration and motivate you to reach for needles and yarn. Or to pen and paper – because if you want to start designing yourself, three types of knitting techniques are presented as examples, which can be used as a starting point for your own projects: “Writing with holes” is what Tsoúkas calls the technique of arranging “holes” to create a pattern , »drawing with purl stitches« means the creation of relief patterns by alternating knitting and purl stitches and »painting with colour« introduces the possibilities of developing jacquard patterns in two or more colours. Let Sylvia Tsoúkas take you on a refreshing knitting journey through Greece! Whether you are a beginner or an advanced knitter – this book has something for everyone!
