Product Description
Book Description
Leading designer Debbie Bliss presents an irresistible collection of Irish-inspired knitwear for the whole family, from sweaters and jackets to scarves and throws.
From the Publisher
Scottish and Irish designs have long been a rich source of inspiration for knitters. Beautiful earthy colors and styles that range from simple chunky sweaters to intricate Fair Isles offer endless ideas. In this marvelous collection, Debbie Bliss presents more than 25 Celtic–inspired designs for the entire family. For adults, there are rugged fishermen’s sweaters, cardigans in delicate hues of heather and moss, a cabled tweed jacket, and a luxurious cashmere wrap. For infants and children, the adorable designs include Fair Isle jackets, socks, berets, and throws and a lace–and–cable sweater. Each project includes easy–to–use charts and instructions and an atmospheric array of color photos. Debbie Bliss is the author of many successful books, including Cotton Knits for All Seasons, Debbie Bliss Knitting Workbook, How to Knit, Classic Knits for Kids, and Family Knits.

5.0 out of 5 stars
gorgeous patterns,
By skooshy (montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celtic Knits: Over 25 Designs for Babies, Children and Adults (Hardcover)
This book is full of gorgeous patterns and beautiful photography. The patterns all present some form of cabling, fair isle or lace. However, those looking for traditional Scottish or Irish patterns shoud look elsewhere, perhaps opting for Starmore instead- Bliss has only inspired herself with the techniques of the British Isles and has adapted them for more modern wear. The patterns look very appealing, thought I must admit to being a big fan of the Debbie Bliss esthetic.

not inspirational,
By A Customer
This review is from: Celtic Knits: Over 25 Designs for Babies, Children & Adults (Hardcover)
This book is geared more towards the beginner, as the variety and patterns in this book are not really inspirational to more experienced knitters. This is quite a let down of a book, although there are a few pieces I may someday knit.

Celtic? Nah,
By A Customer
This review is from: Celtic Knits: Over 25 Designs for Babies, Children & Adults (Hardcover)
What a lovely book this is, full of happy blond children lavishly photographed amidst charmingly rustic settings. However, the knitwear they're modeling, although clean-lined and attractive, isn't "Celtic" at all. Yes, there is one Aran-ish tunic in the collection, but unless you are a thirteen-year-old, it won't fit you. A terrific disappointment!
