Synopsis
This book is filled with gorgeous projects - original designs inspired by goddesses whose lives reflect the creative process of knitting. In addition to unique patterns, readers will find stories that will make knitting come alive in a new way - whether they're old hands or newcomers. For the new knitter, find inspiration in the Native American Grandmother Spider, who wove a ladder from one world to the next. She'll teach the basics of casting on, knitting and binding off. With that knowledge, it's time to call on Isis for help in knitting a beautiful and sexy stole to wrap around the shoulders. Other goddess projects include: - Ariadne and a ribbed scarf. - The Moirae and a multicoloured pullover. - Penelope and a turtleneck with a halo. - Arachne and a lively shrug sweater. - Brigit, a charming Celtic goddess, and a round baby afghan. - Pallas Athene and an exotic headscarf.
