"To Norwegian knitwear designers Tone Takle and Lise Kolstad, 'tradition' doesn't mean copying old work - it means taking inspiration from historical sources and adding creativity, vitality, and contemporary style. The result? Fresh, lively fashions that sing with color and pattern. In SWEATERS: 28 Contemporary Designs in the Norwegian Tradition, you'll find striking designs to knit from detailed instructions or to use as starting points for creating your own garments. The authors show you how to fashion an original sweater from your own design ideas. In addition, their clever but simple sizing system allows you to adapt any sweater to 12 common sizes - from infant to extra large."
