Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Inspired by the richly decorated interiors of medieval churches in Sweden, this sumptuous collection of 20 original knitwear designs includes sweaters, vests, jackets, scarves, and gloves for women, men, and children, all graced with the delicate swirling vines, detailed borders, and striking motifs characteristic of the Middle Ages in Scandinavia. Full-color photos provide a fascinating glimpse into the creative and religious history of Sweden; step-by-step instructions and thorough diagrams allow knitters to make these brilliant works of art new again.
"[Twenty] original knitwear designs; sweaters, vests, jackets, scarves, and gloves; patterns for women, men, and children; step-by-step instructions and diagrams; gorgeous color photographs of projects and period frescoes; descriptions of techniques, yarns, and sizing; a brief history of Swedish church paintings and textiles"--P.
