A STRIKING LIFE - OUT IN THE WORLD

"How do we round off the events of our lives, interpersonal meetings, places, and experiences? And what creates a craftsperson?"

"And Knitting Life – Out into the World" is the second volume in a series of three, where Marianne Isager tells about her life with knitting over five decades. Here we have reached the 90s, where Marianne Isager truly begins to explore the world. We follow her on journeys to Latin America, Africa, Greenland, and Nepal. Here, the doors opened to a wealth of inspiration. Not only patterns on textiles, baskets, and pottery but also buildings, landscapes, and all the wonderful things that fill the mind and soul when visiting a new place and experiencing the country's traditions, food, people, and history, so that it seeps deep into the body. As in the first volume, a number of her earlier and most significant models are shown, which were typical of the time and the inspiration the journeys provided for her designs. The book also contains 16 completely new models with knitting patterns that build on the inspiration from the travels. Common to them all is the good craftsmanship, combined with a high yarn quality.

The anchor in the years with the many travels is still the small town of Tversted in northern Vendsyssel. Tversted is also home to the yarn company Isager, which is now run by Marianne Isager and her daughter Helga Isager.
