Kurzbeschreibung
For ideas for her latest book on knitwear, Sasha Kagan looked to the Welsh countryside where she lives with her family. And nature was obliging indeed, judging from the lovely designs in Sasha Kagan's Country Inspiration.
A leading knitwear designer with an international reputation, Kagan uses leaves and flowers as the basis for creating a variety of garments and home decor items. This classic collection includes her trademark sweaters, as well as throws, pillows, and bedcovers. The process is made easier and more fun with simple, full-color graphs for each of the book's 40 projects, and the patterns elegantly showcase the author's unerring sense of color and style.
Synopsis
This text contains 40 designer projects for women's wear and home furnishings aimed at the intermediate and advanced knitter. Each project contains colour graphs, and uses the latest in new yarns and knitting materials. Included are sweaters, waistcoats, throws, bedcovers and pillows.

Sasha Kagan's "Country Inspirations, Knitwear For All Seasons", the latest inspirational offering from this well-known British knitwear designer, does not disappoint. Using the beautiful countryside around her rural Welsh home for inspiration, Ms. Kagan has created an exiting collection of knitwear. There is more than enough variation among the design offerings to delight even the most jaded home knitter. Ms. Kagan's stated aim is to interpret the seasons for knitters from Summer's full-blown roses to Winter's leaves and berries. Good full body shots of sweaters on attractive models with close-ups of interesting details are interspersed with photos of her botanical inspirations, making an effective presentation. Delightful line drawings accompany most of the designs, adding to the general creative air of this book. You feel as if somehow you are getting a private peek into the designer's personal notebook. The book's layout is both clear and colourful, pairing well-designed charts with helpful keys that provide just enough colour and stitch detail to make the actual knitting of these seemingly complex designs manageable. Helpful construction and stitch diagrams are provided where necessary, allowing the knitter to tackle unusual stitch or construction techniques, without the help of full-body charts. (There are knitters who find too much chart reading confusing.) Ms. Kagan's "Country Inspirations" are divided into 5 sections: Roses, Autumn Leaves, Meadow Flowers, Forrest Fruits and Cottage Gardens, with several different designs included under each heading. The shapes of the sweaters vary and clever pattern or stitch details are added to Ms. Kagan's signature colourwork motives, resulting in a sophisticated mix of both knitterly design and fashionable style. It is nice to see this kind of complex knitting paired with a sense of contemporary style and shape, rather than the more usual boxy drop-shouldered styling often seen with complex colour or pattern knitting. I liked the combination of simple intarsia designs with stitch and texture patterns, creating complex looking garments that are really simpler to knit than is apparent from the rich end result. If you don't feel like knitting a whole sweater, but are still inspired by the Welsh countryside, there are several afghan and pillow designs that will allow you to try out the combination of colour and stitch pattern without having to worry about complex shaping. The inspiration Ms. Kagan gains from her surroundings in Wales and the delight she experiences from a colourful piece of handknitted goods comes across in this collection. Even if you never knit a single design, as actually charted, this book is well worth owning for its inspirational qualities and delightful presentation. I suggest you add it to your collection of knitting books, now.

Beautiful designs, but only 1 size!
11. Oktober 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a lovely book to look at, the designs are wonderful and there are many interesting patterns - and I would have given this book 5 stars except that no pattern has multiple sizing! And given that the garments aren't just the standard boxy shapes, it wouldn't be all that easy to modify for someone that doesn't happen to fit the size the pattern is written for. I would not buy this book unless it was heavily discounted because of this.

Stunning-A must have for knitters who love color and florals
3. März 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is absolutely stunning. Yes, the patterns are only listed for one size and that caused me to delay ordering this item, however, once I did and reviewed it, it was apparent to me that most of the patterns are for a medium size, have a nice allowance and are drop shouldered with very little close fit.
Don't let this stop you from ordering however because the designer will adapt a pattern specifically to your specifications if you just email her and give her the measurements.
The yarn listed is given in British terms, so converting the amounts to use a different yarn may be a bit of a challenge. I ended up ordering a kit from the designer that will include all of the yarn-the price seems reasonable and not out of line if you tried to pick up the yarn on your own.
Have no doubts, buy this book and knit yourself a beautiful sweater!
