Knitting Noro: A Spectrum of 30 Designs by Jane Ellison – a brand new book and a must have for Noro Fans.
The sheer beauty of Noro is that each ball or hank of the exquisite multi-coloured yarn is individually dyed to produce a unique palette of subtle shadings and vivid hues. Because of the colourful nature of the yarns knitting with them is always exciting, as you do not know how and when the colours run into each other. Each knitter creates a truly unique garment every time she knits.
Jane Ellison’s new book features a collection of 30 glorious designs, knit in Noro yarns.
The book is divided into six basic silhouettes, each of which is modified to create four original garments and a few accessories. The result? Simple, figure-flattering silhouettes teamed with bright vibrant colours in designs that you’ll turn to time and time again.
From a relaxed funnel-neck tunic and a zip-front chevron-stitched cardigan to a stripped v-neck pullover and seed-stitched empire dress, each pattern is accompanied by lush photography, clear instructions and a chart indicating how the designer has modified the original pattern.
Though this book is designed for knitters of all skill levels, beginners will find a basics section with contemporary illustrations a great opportunity to learn simple techniques such as casting on, knit and purl. (25,000 words).
It features contemporary garment and accessory designs, and simple patterns to appeal to knitters of all skill levels. It includes all projects knitted with Noro Yarns. Colour photography and easy-to-follow instructions accompany each project.
