I have been excitedly been awaiting the release of this book and was so happy to see that I could order it through TWT! I can’t wait to make some of the designs. As always my order was packaged so beautifully with thought and care. I think this is a great addition to any Fair Isle library.
I love the Japanese aesthetic and this interpretation of Fair Isle doesn't disappoint! If you are new to stranded knitting and/or steeking this book gives wonderful advice - helpful even if you have some experience. The book is beautifully photographed and bound. I love that it is both in English and Japanese. As for TWT - it was shipped as promised (I had a preorder) and perfectly packaged so arrived in pristine condition.
The designs are absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to finish what I have on my needles so that I can cast on for the Burra cardigan. I really like the way the colors subtly blend in the designs and will be knitting several, I'm sure! Just as loverly book, well designed and the photos are beautiful, taken in the Shetlands, very informative and hard to say before actually knitting a pattern, but the instructions and techniques sections seem to be very clear.
