<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The Icelandic style of knitting has a long history steeped in the traditional values that shaped knitting into the art that is today, and the enduring beauty of the craft is celebrated in this guidebook. Rather than focusing on a handful of specific patterns, the book teaches broad techniques, instructs on the basic approaches, gives tips on how to modify projects to suit personal tastes, and then settles in to the more detailed patterns. From knitting in the round to felting and from shaping sweaters to knitting with beads, it teaches invaluable skills in classic styles. Among the projects are cardigans, socks, mittens, bags, and slippers, which range in skill level from experienced beginner to advanced.
