Create such gorgeous items as a showstopping shawl of neutrals accented with bright earth tones, a multidirectional cardigan that makes the most of Noro's color striping, a Picasso-esque modular blanket, and a star-motif capelet.Trade Review"Kureyon is the Japanese word for crayon, and it is perhaps Noro's signature yarn line. It is notable for the way it patterns and stripes as it is worked and is highly prized by knitters. To celebrate the yarn's thirtieth anniversary comes this handsome volume whose projects highlight the way the yarn subtly shifts in hue and tone. Among the patterns are sweaters, hats, shawls, cowls, and capes. For the home, there are blankets and pillows. The projects run the gamut in difficulty from a simple seed-stitch scarf to a long brick-pattern shawl with chevron stripes that uses double-wrapped stitches, elongated stitches, and yarn changes. Unlike in some knitting books, which don't illustrate enough, patterns here often get four photographs. Throughout, it's the full-size color photographs, along with smaller additions, that will make knitters drool. Fans of Noro will adore this one, and those new to the yarn will want to get started ASAP." --Booklist

Arnoldsche Madame Tricot: Delicatessen
Book SynopsisWith her unique artistic installations, Madame Tricot - real name Dominique Kaehler Schweizer - displaces the viewer into an illusory world of knitted delicacies. Her smokehouses, refrigerators, counters of sausage and cheese, and platters of vegetables and desserts are full of wit and irony. The knitted human heads and anthropomorphic specimens, on the other hand, confront the viewer with the breaking of taboos and surreal allusions. The installation-like staging represents a balancing act of fine art and virtuosic craftsmanship, and draws on the Eat Art movement of the 1960s. The work of the Swiss artist thus repeatedly awakens associations with the work of Daniel Spoerri, Dieter Roth and Fischli/Weiss. Text in English and German.
