“A journey in 16 patterns.”

In this beautiful book, the third installment in the Knitting Life series, Marianne Isager writes about her time commuting between Japan and Denmark, and the influence that this part of her life had on her knitwear design. “My knitting is always inspired by the things going on around me, experiences from daily life, and from travels,” she writes. “My long stays in Japan became an important source of inspiration.”

In 16 gorgeous sweater patterns, knitters can see Marianne’s appreciation of Japanese art, culture, and fashion through colorwork motifs both intricate and graphic, fascinating stitch textures, and modern silhouettes.
