Book NEW KNITTING by Lærke Bagger

Knitting is so cool with Lærke Bagger. In her second book, you'll find new designs from the Danish Queen of Knitting. The book is very personal; she explores her relationship with her father – from his early departure from the family to their reconciliation and his death. Knitting became her therapy, leading to designs like 'Inner Child Pullover' and her Norwegian sweater 'Family'. Each of her designs also has a Barbie doll version to knit – Barbie dolls are one of her passions.

For us, this is the best knitting book currently on the market! Thank you, Laerke!

Techniques and tips for knitting with scraps for beginners and advanced knitters. She provides advice on accepting imperfection, clever strategies to salvage projects, and encouragement to experiment with ribbons, beads, fringes, and different yarn types.

Lærke is a trained textile designer and has been knitting with recycled materials since her youth – long before the fashion world jumped on the bandwagon. By making and using scrap yarn and incorporating real found objects, each project becomes distinctive and unique. Knitting with Lærke is slow fashion at its best! She encourages self-acceptance and creative problem-solving, true to her mantra: Just tie a knot (instead of weaving in all the ends individually)!
