A Knitting Life vol II – Out into the world – Marianne Isager (EN)

A Knitting Life – Out into the World is the second book of three in which Marianne Isager reveals her knitting life spanning five decades.

It wasn’t until the 1990s that Marianne Isager truly began to explore the world. In this book, we follow Marianne on her travels to Latin America, Africa, Greenland, and Nepal. On these journeys, the gates open wide to an abundance of inspiration. Not just the patterns of textiles, baskets, and pottery, but also architecture, landscapes, and all the wonders that fill your mind and soul when you visit a new place for the first time and experience its traditions, food, people, and history, seeping into your very core. As in the first book, some of her earlier and most important designs are presented, many of which reflected the fashions of the time. This book contains 16 new designs with knitting instructions, inspired by her travels, all of which combine craftsmanship and high-quality yarn. The book is in English.

During these years of travel, Marianne’s hometown of Tversted in northern Denmark remains the anchor in her life. Tversted is also home to the yarn company Isager, owned and managed by Marianne Isager and her daughter Helga.
