Through 25 projects that fall into three categoriesandmdash;Magpies (accessories for the small amounts of precious yarns that knitters inevitably collect), Homebodies (garments for time spent close to home), and Nomads (garments to wear when venturing out into the world)andmdash;Rose shares her modern aesthetic and invites readers to develop their own.
Review
andldquo;So not only do we have twenty-five patternsandmdash;many of them timeless and some of them quirkyandmdash;we also have a lot of attentive commentary on color selection, styling tips, and useful info on substituting yarns. This is one new book that I would highly recommend. Not only for the patterns, but especially for the spirit of the book and the thoughtful way Cirilia Rose approaches her knitting and explains her process.andrdquo;
