Book - Traditions Revisited: Modern Estonian Knits by Aleks Byrd

Product Details

Estonian knitting is about techniques, embellishment and regionalism. Each knit tells a story about the knitter and his or her place of residence.

Aleks Byrd's book Traditions Revisited – Modern Estonian Knits is an introduction to Estonian knitting, both traditional and traditional-inspired.

It includes 19 patterns, ranging from mittens to sweaters, that blend seamlessly with modern knitting styles.

In addition to knitwear design, she works as an illustrator and teaches Estonian knitting techniques around the world. In her designs, tradition and Aleks’ own, graphic style meet. With her book, Aleks wants to make traditional Estonian techniques accessible to everyone while at the same time building a bridge between Estonian knitters and the international knitting community.
