You've never encountered sweaters quite like these before! Until you see Lynne and Doug Barr's truly unusual sweaters for the first time, it's hard to believe that wool yarns and plain stockinette stitches can yield knitted landscapes of such originality and beauty. No two-dimensional folk-art pictures here -- with their artistic character and rich colors, these designs will, in fact, remind you of landscape paintings. This collection of the Barr's designs were inspired by the northern countryside and coast. The landscapes wrap entirely around the sweaters, matching perfectly at the side seams. Sumer, fall, and winter settings offer a varied color palette, and subjects range from a racing Downhill Skier to a peaceful Autumn Road. Because they are intarsia-knit, the sweaters are warm and colorful without being overly thick. These eight dramatic sweaters can be made by any experienced knitter, and they can be worked wither by hand or on any bulky knitting machine. The front and back designs are clearly laid out in two-color charts. Other charts show how to make the sleeves and the accompanying test explains the fine points of intarsia technique, yarn selection, modifying patters, finishing, and more.
