Illuminated Knits

<p>Illuminated Knits is a collection of four knitting patterns by Scottish designer Lucy Hague inspired by the rich colours and intricate decorations found in illuminated Celtic manuscripts.</p><p>These designs (two shawls a blanket and a pullover) all make use of a slipped-stitch cable technique which creates contrasting colour effects without the need for intarsia or stranded knitting.</p><p>All of the patterns are presented in both charted and written form and full explanations are provided for every stitch along with a brief guide to selecting colours for your project.</p><p>With photos shot on location at Inchcolm Abbey in the Firth of Forth this book aims to provide an inspiring reinterpretation of Insular Celtic art using inventive cable-knitting techniques.</p>
