Jewels

By Making Stories

JEWELS is the third book in the European Nature book series which we created to share our passion for ​natural, local, breed-specific, European yarns​, ​beautiful knitwear designs​ and the ​stories of the amazing makers​ who enable and inspire us to create magic with our own hands.
JEWELS​ ​includes ​12 modern knitwear designs​ for the colder seasons on this planet. From luscious ​colourwork yokes​ to ​drapey everyday sweaters​, from a ​shawl​ as cosy as a hug to mittens​ designed to keep your hands toasty warm, all the pieces in this book are designed to be both enjoyable to knit and wearable for years to come. JEWELS wouldn’t be a Making Stories publication though without the stories that inspire us to do our work: We’ve included profiles​ for every single maker involved in this book, be it designer or yarn company, as well as two fantastic articles on yarn (by Katie Green) and colour substitution (by Dianna Walla) and a ​conversation on colour​ between ​Melody Hoffmann​, a favourite designer, and yarn dyer Paula Goosen ​of Moel View Yarn.
