Authentic ancient motifs—from natural
animals to mythological and imperial figures—are
the basis for the charts in Enchanted Knitting.
Here you'll find patterns based on the ancient Romanian
beast-man Silvanus, figures in the Paleolithic caves of
Europe, and tattoos from the famous Pazyryk woman of central
Asia. China, Mexico, Nigeria, and Native American cultures
are among the many other sources for these diverse motifs.
Included are more than 200 charts, graphed at the correct
proportions for knitted stitches, and annotated with discussion
of the original motifs and their historical context. Garments
provide ideas on how to combine motif in imaginative ways.
Paperbound, 8 1/2 x 10, 96 pages,
color photographs, and black-and-white charts and illustrations,
ISBN 1-883010-21-7
