A knitting life 1 – back to Tversted
The book ‘A KNITTING LIFE 1 – BACK TO TVERSTE’ is the first volume in a series of three, in which Marianne Isager talks about her life with knitting over five decades.
After a long life of knitting, in this publication I have gathered some pivotal experiences that have shaped my knitting universe and inspired me for five decades.
Times change – and so do fashions. My designs always spring from a belief that a sweater you have spent a long-time knitting should also transcend the latest trend.
Still, I can certainly see the glint of particular fashions shining through the decades of my career. So, I have decided to show some of my earlier, most distinctive designs reflecting a given period, and create new ones using the same knitting techniques.
