Publisher's Note
Strick, an extraordinarily talented hand knitter and designer, has developed 20 patterns inspired by the Harrisville yarns colors. (They can, of course, be made from other yarns, if preferred.) The sweaters range from single-color garments to the fascinating color mixes of traditional Fair Isle style.Smaller projects -- mittens and ski socks -- are perfect opportunities to use up leftover yarn.

Industry Reviews
The New England village referred to in the title is Harrisville, New Hampshire, home of Harrisville Designs, a woolen mill that for many years has supplied weavers with gorgeous tweed and solid-color wool yarns. Now more and more knitters are beginning to discover the tremendous color range (more than 80 colors) that Harrisville offers. In creating the 20 original patterns included here, Strick used a variety of Harrisville yarns from heavy to fingering weight, but given the proper gauge the knitter can use any favorite yarn to knit the sweaters, which include a number of fair isle designs as well as textured solid-color knits, entrelac socks, and a beautiful pair of Amish Star mittens reminiscent of the quilt pattern. Patterns are clearly written, with complete charts that show every shaping detail, and there are, of course, color photos of all designs. For intermediate and advanced knitters and an inspiration to beginners; any library collecting knitting books will want this one.
