Download or read book Victorian Charted Tapestry Patterns written by Susan Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-28 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lure of the exotic, far-off East was a source of inspiration for everything from fashion to furnishings during the Victorian era. These 24 richly colored charts are a perfect example of "Oriental" design adapted to Western tastes.This collection is reproduced from German textile designer Friedrich Fischbach's work titled "Orientalische Bunt-Stickerei-Vorlagen" (Colorful Oriental Embroidery Patterns) published around 1870. The patterns were printed in full color on cards and gathered into portfolios.Geometric repeating patterns, stylized floral motifs and borders charted on graph paper are a universal language which can be translated into needlepoint, counted cross stitch and beadwork, with each square on the pattern representing a single stitch. For inspiration I've included photos of an example of Victorian needlepoint worked from similar charts along with a page of plain graph paper to aid you in adapting these designs to your own creations.

Download or read book Magpies Homebodies and Nomads written by Cirilia Rose and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Rose explores her myriad inspirations in this collection of twenty-five fashionable knitting projects that show the potential in beautiful yarn . . . marvelous.” —Library Journal Cirilia Rose is the epitome of the new knitwear designer—young, educated, curious, and excited to share her passion for all ideas knit and purl. Her attitude toward curating her own collection of designs is informed as much by travel, cultural history, and tried-and-true sourcebooks as it is by modern media and technology. In Magpies, Homebodies, and Nomads, Rose takes readers behind the scenes of her design process, showing them how she curates and organizes ideas and translates them into knitwear designs. Through twenty-five projects that fall into three categories—Magpies (accessories for the small amounts of precious yarns that knitters inevitably collect), Homebodies (garments for time spent close to home), and Nomads (garments to wear when venturing out into the world)—Rose shares her modern aesthetic and invites readers to develop their own. “So not only do we have twenty-five patterns—many of them timeless and some of them quirky—we also have a lot of attentive commentary on color selection, styling tips, and useful info on substituting yarns. This is one new book that I would highly recommend. Not only for the patterns, but especially for the spirit of the book and the thoughtful way Cirilia Rose approaches her knitting and explains her process.” —Knit and Tonic “This is a gem of a book.” —Kangath Knits “This latitude that Rose has given herself to combine disparate elements makes all her designs fresh, hip and youthful.” —My Central Jersey
