Celtic Knits: Over 25 Designs for Babies, Children and Adults

by Debbie Bliss

Scottish and Irish designs have long been a rich source of inspiration for knitters. Beautiful earthy colors and styles that range from simple chunky sweaters to intri-cate Fair Isles offer endless ideas. Now, in this marvelous new collection, leading knitwear designer Debbie Bliss presents more than 25 original Celtic-inspired de-signs for the entire family. For adults, there are rugged fishermen's sweaters, car-digans in delicate hues of heather and moss, a cabled tweed jacket, and a luxurious cashmere wrap. For infants and children, the adorable designs include Fair Isle jackets, socks, berets, and throws and a lace-and-cable sweater. With every de-sign illustrated in atmospheric color photos, Celtic Knits is another welcome addi-tion to the Debbie Bliss knitwear series. Debbie Bliss, who now designs clothing for Baby Gap, is the author of many successful books, including How to Knit, Great Knits for Kids, Family Knits, Bright Knits for Kids, and Classic Knits for Kids.

This book isn't exactly for beginners, but the patters do not frighten me. I really like many of the items in the book and think I might even be able to make some of them (with practice). All in all, lots of lovely patterns for the intermediate knitter.

Some very pretty knits for the whole family. But I don't think my girls would wear them.

Lovely patterns, most featuring cabling or fair isle colorwork, but, sadly, mostly too chunky for Florida.

Beautiful projects for the knitter with some experience. Gorgeous photographs, nice graphs.
