We have taught knitting classes together for several years and approach our craft with the same meticulous care. A design can often be improved so the stitches lie perfectly, or maybe a few extra stitches need to be knitted to create a perfect edging. We may be the only ones to notice the difference, but the deep satisfaction that comes with creating a finished piece of craftsmanship drives us both in our work, ultimately guaranteeing that the sweater or scarf will have years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p2\"\u003eWe wanted to produce a book featuring a collection of some of our favourite techniques and designs. We realised that gloves and mittens were a good choice, because so many techniques go into knitting these small items. Gloves have essentially had the same shape for centuries, because they have to fit the curves of the human hand. Our idea was to write a classic book for knitters to use as a mini reference work whenever they need to refresh a certain technique – whether for knitting a mitten or a sweater.”\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandcraft uses the beautiful Isager yarns,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loopknittingshop.com\/p\/4957\/Isager-Highland-Wool\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.loopknittingshop.com\/p\/4957\/Isager-Highland-Wool\"\u003eHighland wool\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loopknittingshop.com\/p\/4960\/Isager-Alpaca-1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.loopknittingshop.com\/p\/4960\/Isager-Alpaca-1\"\u003eAlpaca 1\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eand\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loopknittingshop.com\/p\/7242\/Isager-Spinni---Spinni-Tweed\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.loopknittingshop.com\/p\/7242\/Isager-Spinni---Spinni-Tweed\"\u003eSpinni and Spinni Tweed\u003c\/a\u003e.  These patterns are a great way to work with these yarns , often held together, to create many beautiful colour combinations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Isager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40508517646544,"sku":"HANDCRAFT","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9350\/9840\/products\/HandcraftatLoopLondon.jpg?v=1637683740"},{"product_id":"a-knitting-life-back-to-tversted-by-isager","title":"A Knitting Life - Back to Tversted by Isager","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘A Knitting Life – Back to Tversted’ is a book about Marianne Isager’s first 20 years as a knitwear designer and as owner of the yarn company, ISAGER.
