Let Arne & Carlos guide you on a journey into the colorful and imaginative bird kingdom! Inspired by nature both at home and abroad—from their garden in Tonsåsen come the characteristic bullfinch, chickadee, and wagtail, to name a few, but the fun doesn’t stop there. Knit cold-weather birds with Norwegian traditional patterns, and keep them warm with bird-sized wool caps and scarves; make brilliant birds-of-paradise decorated with embroidery, sequins, and feathers; or spread your wings a little further with birds featuring vintage Mexican embroidery motifs. These delightful birds can be used as decorations year-round, but they may tend to migrate towards the Christmas tree when the time approaches. With clear instructions, helpful diagrams, and full-color photographs, it’s time for every knitter’s imagination to take flight.

This book is beautiful as well as a teaching element for knitters. I love the big bright photos. This book instructs as well as making you aware of colors and learning to shape with short rows, very simple short rows. I am no genius in knitting but these two wild wonderful guys make everything fun and simplify the most difficult task in knitting. I just learned to do colorwork but not something this small so this is somewhat of a challenge for me. I need to learn new things to keep the old brain working like it did years ago and this book will help so much to…
