From Laine Publishing and knitwear designer Susan Crawford, Echoes: 24 Modern Knits Inspired by Iconic Women features two dozen knitwear patterns dedicated to real and fictional women. You'll find patterns inspired by authors such as Beatrix Potter and Virginia Woolf, musicians like Cyndi Lauper and Kate Bush, as well as activists, artists, garden designers and more, and you can find out more about these inspirational women in the essays that accompany each design. Every pattern in the book is knitted with Susan’s own range of yarns, made with custom blends of British breed sheep, spun in the UK, and hand-dyed at Susan’s studio; however, as most of them are standard weight, they can also easily be substituted. The versatile collection of heirloom quality designs includes sweaters, vests, and a dress, as well as a variety of accessories... Even a tie!
