Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

"Knitting Nature" is "geek chic" at its most fascinating and beautiful. Imagine a woman's pullover born of a fascination with logometric spirals (the spirals you see in rams' horns, seashells); a shawl inspired by the atomic structure of quasicrystals; and a man's pullover whose central motif resembles the patterns formed by chemical waves. In "Knitting Nature", Gaughan draws knitters into her creative process by explaining - in friendly, layman's terms - how she uses patterning in physics as inspiration and challenge, then hooks them with her sophisticated, classic designs, ready for them to reproduce following her step-by-step instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars great results, Jan 9 2008
By R. Smith (vancouver, canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
norah's patterns are inventive and interesting. they aren't super complicated and for a relatively new knitter (with no mentor to show me how to do things), i have been able to challenge myself but not feel totally discouraged. if you have knitted in the round and/or made socks, the patterns make sense. i love the bubble pullover (almost finished) and i modified the hex afgan into a baby blanket for a friend with good results. i love her discussions at the beginning of each pattern about science and knitting. she's interesting and thoughtful. i find myself flipping through just for inspiration although i wouldn't make quite a few of the patterns - they are a little too out there for me!
