An abundance of step-by-step fiber art projects to bring Scandinavian style to life in your home.
"Osterhaug's close connection to her heritage is palpable, and her accomplishments as a journalist, writer, and fiber artist earn this book a spot in any crafter's library as the resource on all things Nordic." —Christine Jablonski, Handwoven
By exploring the cultures and traditions behind the charm of Nordic crafts, you can enjoy extra-meaningful making!
The 25 projects mix unusual and more-familiar patterns and techniques, ranging from danskbrogd pillows and monk’s belt guest towels to knitted bags, rosemaling with wool, and a rug inspired by Icelandic terrain.
• Peek into the values and beliefs core to Scandinavian life—nature, community, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
• For each value, create 4 to 7 beautiful and thoughtfully designed fiber art projects featuring knitting, felting, and weaving.
• Each project's difficulty level is marked (beginner, advanced beginner, and intermediate).
• Projects by respected designers including Becky Ashenden, Laura Berlage, Sara Bixler, Susan J. Foulkes, Lisa Hill, Tom Knisely, Jan Mostrom, and John Mullarkey, to name just a few.
• 12 projects are felting or knitting; 13 projects are weaving (rigid heddle, inkle, tapestry, tablet, and finger weaving).
