The Nordic Knitting Primer: A Step-By-Step Guide to Scandinavian Colorwork by Kristin Drysdale

I have always admired Nordic hats, Mittens, and sweaters. This book has beautiful illustrations and helpful tips for a novice colorwork knitter as myself. I have referred to it many times. Very Helpful !

I rarely write reviews but I am making an exception because this is such a great book. I love knitting because it’s so approachable literally leant 2 stitches (knit purl) and a whole world of making opens to you. This book is great because if you’d like to learn two color knitting you have all the help you need. The photo by photo help and organization of the patterns provides a do it yourself master class. I’ve made about half the patterns in this book now and ( which are beautiful!) and I e learned how to two color knit holding yarn in both hands really well. The patterns alone are why to buy this book—but if you also want skill building—it’s amazing. I bought a second copy to donate to my library because they have a youth group of knitters just learning. Thanks for carrying this book!

I have always admired knitwear with the Nordic patterns in them, but have felt intimidated to try making any. After starting to read this book, I am hopeful that it is "doable" and am looking forward to learning new skills.
