Knitting from the North : original designs inspired by Nordic and Fair Isle knitting traditions / Hilary Grant ; photography by Caro Weiss and Kyle Books.
Knitting from the North presents thirty patterns that offer a unique and contemporary twist on traditional colorwork. Steeped in knitting traditions of Orkney, Scotland, where Fair Isle knitting makes its home and where Nordic cultural influences are rich, Hilary Grant desgined knitwear with a modern aesthetic inspired by the land and wild sea outside her studio window. From fingerless mitts to cowls, hats, and sweaters, the projects here offer original patterns in unique colorways for a fresh approach to knitting with color.

HILARY GRANT grew up on the west coast of Ayrshire with a mother who was a keen knitter and instilled the ethos of buying good quality, long-lasting clothes. She studied textile design at the University of Dundee before working at Alexander McQueen designing embroideries and leatherwork. After moving back to Scotland, Hilary started her own knitwear label in 2011.
