Excellent book,
By Suzanne "Suzieknits2" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fisherman's Sweaters: Twenty Exclusive Knitwear Designs for All Generations (Paperback)
Alice Starmore is the authority when it comes to Aran knitting and this book demonstrates that. The pictures are gorgeous and the directions for the projects are well done. So, get inspired and make one of these! I have just started an Alice Starmore project and all I can say is that I am thoroughly enjoying it and find rather addicting. Her directions and charts are very clear and easy to follow. Her designs are truly works of art!

This review is from: Fisherman's Sweaters: Twenty Exclusive Knitwear Designs for All Generations (Paperback)
Alice Starmore is a knit designer who is reknown for her colorwork (Fairisle type--she hails from Lerwick, Scotland) and for her textured Aran and Guernsey-style work. Here she creates some glorious textured sweaters in chapters named after lands where fisherfolk live, work and yes, knit their characteristic designs. The chapters include:1. Scotland The sweaters range from the thickly cabled true Aran style (the gorgeous Innishmore is incredibly deep and intricate) to colorwork such as a combination of textures and pattern characteristic of Estonian knitting. There is also an adorable child's sweater modeled after a Breton sailor's striped jersey. This is one of Starmore's most useful books. The sweaters could be worn by men, children, fashionable women, hikers, you name it. If you love TEXTURE, you will adore this, but there is also color. In addition to the designs I just mentioned, I love the charming "Nova Scotia" featuring scallop shells in a knit-purl design. This is one of my favorite Starmore books.

The Catch of the Day!,
By Virginia L. Tubbs (Claremont, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fisherman's Sweaters: Twenty Exclusive Knitwear Designs for All Generations (Paperback)
I am new to Aran kniting. The detailed, close up pictures of the sweaters show very clearly how the stitches should appear. The charts are easy to follow, and Starmore's general directions in the back of the book are a bonus. Sweaters are featured in light to heavy yarns. The fibers range from cotton, silk, wool or a combination. My sample knitted swatches have been sucessful.
