Format: Hardcover, November 8, 2022

Attention twenty-first century knitters! Put down your stitch markers, cable
needles, and rulers, it's time to dive into your scrap yarn bag and throw
caution to the wind.Europe’s hippest textile genius throws the rulebook out
the window with a knitting book like never before. Tired of dowdy knitting
patterns? Bored of videos made by traditionalists with no sense of fun?
Freaked out by complicated instructions that leave no room for mistakes? Do
you want to learn to knit fur? How about some funky patterns for children's
clothes that kids will love? Well, Lærke Bagger is here for you. Known for her
exuberant use of color and textures, this young textile artist is rapidly
gaining a fanatical worldwide following. In this unique guide, she offers
advice for knitters of every level, as well as fifteen basic patterns that can
be varied infinitely to suit individual skill sets, tastes, and materials.
There are illustrated instructions for making socks, scarves and sweaters—but
you’ll also find ideas for creating babysuits, scrunchies, T-shirts and even a
prom dress. In addition to eschewing perfection, the Lærke Bagger technique
involves tying knots instead of sewing the ends of yarn, recycling every inch
of wool, and letting mistakes be a part of the design. With names like the
Carpe Diem Sweater, the Bad Idea Top and the Easy Peasy Pillow, her knits are
easily translated to fit whatever mood you’re in. Along the way, Lærke Bagger
dispenses unique pearls of wisdom for living in today’s hectic world. Read
