We’re big fans of the creative and colourful world of German designer Anna Huseman @anna_husemann, and it’s a real pleasure to be able to share with you today the release of her first book!
In ‘Intarsia knits’, Anna takes you on an inspiring journey through the intarsia technique and its possibilities. Through 12 projects, from the quickest to the most ambitious, she invites you to share her passion for colours and shapes to create joyful and unique pieces!
They are designed to suit all knitting skill levels: if you’ve never used the intarsia technique before, you’ll find lots of tips and tricks as well as step-by-step instructions to get you started on your first project. More experienced knitters will also find something to their liking, as the patterns play with variations of this technique and combine it with other knitting techniques.
Anna has come up with 2 accessory patterns in our Robinson yarn, dyed with natural pigments in a very pretty palette combining the ‘pêche melba’ colour with the two indigo shades of ‘azur’ and ‘grand bleu’ 🙂
