Discovery: Poetry in Stitches

While surfing on the net, I discovered this lovely book, full of amazing photographs and knitting designs by Solveig Hisdal. She is a Norwegian designer who visited museums all over her country and used the treasures that her ancestors left behind as her greatest source of inspiration.
'Poetry in Stitches' shows how the creativity of the past has inspired her to make wonderful knitted designs.

On a rainy wednesday, I went to a town in The Netherlands, to a shop where I bought this book.

The first design I choose to knit

I wanted a project that was not too complicated and with yarn that I could buy in my LYS. So, this 'camisole' became my first knitting project from this lovely book.

And this is the result:

I knitted one top for my daughter but it turned out too large for her, so I kept it for me. I started all over again in a smaller size for her. We are both happy with the result!
