Pressestimmen
"Like pointillist paintings, Isager's designs rely on the detail you can only get at a fine gauge." --Clara Parkes, editor, "Knitter's Review," and author, "The Knitter's Book of Yarn" Japan is known for its sense of style, from the classic beauty of a ceremonial kimono to the edgy street trends worn by teens. This collection picks up a variety of influences to create a lovely and wearable collection, which stands out from the crowd. Each of the 12 knits has been inspired by a different month in Japan, and each is flanked by photos of the month, giving you a glimpse into the world which inspired the designs. Ideal for an adventurous knitter, the complex patterns use techniques that will stretch your skills and challenge your needles, from colourwork to entrelac. We love the clever construction and delicacy of the March pattern: 'The Fan' was inspired by the Girls' Day Festival, pretty and pink, and the lacy fronts look like an open fan. It's a far cry from the August pattern. 'Summer in Tokyo' is a complex stranded colourwork design in hot and cool colours inspired by traditional tatami mat designs. Marianne Isager has managed to create patterns with a distinctly Japanese feel which wouldn't look out of place on the British high street. You'll spot traditional aran stitches nestled alongside distinctly Japanese elements to create knits which will turn heads and shake down a rain of compliments from knitters and non-knitters alike. Marianne's use of shape and colour makes this an inspiring collection, and you may find these pieces make you rethink your wardrobe - or book a holiday in the land of the rising sun.-Simply Knitting
Kurzbeschreibung
Inspired by the seasonal festivals and traditions of Japan, Marianne Isager blends traditional Scandinavian knitting with a distinctive Japanese influence in "Japanese Inspired Knits". This work helps readers explore beautiful design elements steeped in folk customs with these patterns created especially for women. True to the Japanese ideals of high-quality design and materials, Marianne presents 12 sweaters oriented around the months of the year that are knitted using almost a dozen different techniques. With project names like Sake and Soba, Summer in Tokyo, Rice Fields, Flower Buds, and Stone Garden, knitters have inspiration aplenty. In additional to standard knit and purl combinations, the patterns feature double knitting, domino knitting, shadow knitting, lace, cables, entrelac, intarsia, and stranded two-color knitting.All techniques are described in detail with clear text and illustrations, and an illustrated glossary at the end of the book provides additional technical instruction needed for any project. Also included are Japanese ideographs that relate to themes that inspired the projects, a Japanese calendar, plus lush travel photography of Japan that will inspire any knitter.

Bei der Bestellung hab ich noch überlegt, ob es sich hier wirklich um eine Neuerscheinung eines Isager Buches handelt. An alle Sammelsüchtigen: Es ist eine englische Neuauflage des bereits vor längerem erschienenen Buch "JAPAN". Es ist jedoch zu den einzelnen Strickwaren teilweise zusätzlich bebildert. Außerdem stehen auf den Schnitten zusätzlich hier die Maßangaben. Dafür fehlen die Bebilderungen für die Handstulpen.
Ansonsten genauso schön wie das Buch JAPAN. Aber wer "JAPAN" hat, benötigt dieses Exemplar nicht noch zusätzlich.

A season for all knitting, Japanese-styled
29. März 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This collection of knits by Marianne Isager is Japanese-inspired but not completely given over to designs that are completely Oriental.
The book is organized by month, and a different, seasonally-appropriate design is featured. There is everything from textured knitting, lace and colorwork.
One pattern, a swing coat, cleverly imitates Japanese traditional indigo, with a sort of double ikat pattern woven in. The dark blue knitted in wave motifs on a blue background and looks like the fuzzy double-ikat weaving. And the coat is elegant in shape as well.
There is also a moon pattern with a motif like "shadow knitting" which is alternating color bands and garter stitch, a sort of eye-teasing, flickering design. This is a very plain flat pullover, but the moons make it special.
A beaded flower bud design looks like the slightly ditzy, but girly designs you see in Japanese knitting magazines. The beaded-bud pattern uses a blob of garter stitch along a row of color to make a very pleasant effect on light yarn.
The sizes in this book tend to the s-m-l and not many are extra-extra large, so if you are knitting for an extra-large person, many of these patterns will need to be adapted or are simply not suitable for a big physique. For example, there is a Fan Jacket, with a fascinating construction (knit from the underarm in radiating increased garter stitch-ending in rounded lace at the lapels.) This goes up to size 44 but no larger and it's a very pretty jacket indeed but you would have to knit it in a different gauge to try to make it larger; adapting it would be very difficult.
The best thing about this book are the shapes of the garments, which are creative. The designs are not knock-your-eyes-out fabulous, but they have a subtlety that is worth a second and third and in some cases, many more looks.

Ho-hum designs, with a side of cringe-inducing exoticism
2. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I understand that with so many knitting books coming out, it's not a bad idea for an author to have some kind of a hook. But these patterns are "Japanese-inspired" the way Ashton Kutcher is a Kabbalist. At best it's a case of marketing over matter, at worst it's yet another case of co-opting. That all the knits are modeled by a white girl with tastefully straightened black hair doesn't help with the cringe factor. While the patterns are good practices for various techniques and may be to many people's tastes, their supposed provenance is firmly of the Pier 1 Imports school of thought--they only look Japanese to people with no familiarity with the culture and are happy to fill in the massive blanks with superficial, possibly quaint, ideas.
Harsh? Sure, but what do you expect when you tart up a standard cable sweater with a name like "Sake and Soba" and stick characters for "Autumn", "Red" and "Winter" together on a page like they make any kind of a sense as a single word? Oh I'm sorry, you meant that to be just exotic-looking page decoration? I'm sure it'd make a great tattoo too, on anyone who can't read it, that is.
Bottom line, I would emphatically *not* recommend the book for those who are genuinely interested in infusing their knitting with traditional Japanese garment construction, motifs or colors, or with contemporary Japanese styling.

I love this book!!
3. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I knit every day. Sometimes I think it's a habit and not a hobby. This book inspired me to do something more than 'another pair of socks'. The designs are beautiful, though not for a beginner or even an advanced beginner, more like an advanced intermediate level. The instructions assume a lot of knitting knowledge and experience. If you want a book to inspire you to greater things, this book could do the trick. It was fine for me, but a friend who borrowed it spent hours at the local knit shop, sitting in the 'help' corner. Also, for those of you on a budget, all the patterns use a great deal of yarn. To spend the time making these beautiful garments would be a waste without using really nice yarn. A typical piece in the book, when using fine yarn, could be more than $200.
