Description
WYS Illustrious Pattern Book by Emma Wright
"A good book is like a great meal, enjoyable, pleasurable and deeply satisfying, except the book will last alot longer!"
A fantastic pattern book gives pleasure and inspiration even without attempting the patterns, and this book covers a multitude of techniques to try, lace, bobbles and cables, intarsia as well as Fair-Isle and to demonstrate the designers understanding of knitters she includes pages for notes so jottings, modifications and add ons can be noted, to be followed or ignored as desired.
This is a book of 11 patterns, a collection of sweaters, cardigans, a dress and even a cape, not forgetting the essential addition of a hat, mitts and a rather sculpturesque scarf
The yarn presented in this book by Emma Wright is the West Yorkshire Spinners glorious Illustrious Dk, a combination of soft British Alpaca and Falkland wool, a long fibre breed which spins exceptionally well, making it easy to handle and means the finished garment will keep its gorgeous looks for longer!
And being machine washable adds practicality to the result!
