Summary: 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.
