Reviews
Finnish designer Lumi Karmitsa has only been knitting for five years. You certainly can't tell from the intricate designs she creates for mittens and socks. Apparently, no one told her that colorwork wasn't for beginning knitters, and that's quite a good thing. The designs in this book are a riot of flowers, animals, symbols, and even a spiritual leader or two. The colors are bright and exciting, and the charts are big enough to knit from the book. The colorwork is mostly two colors per row, but a few have three, and the gauge ranges from 5.5 to 8 stitches to an inch. My only disappointment is that all of the patterns are written for only one size. But I am certainly willing to change needles sizes or do some math to partake in the imagination this book has in it. What other books could you find patterns for Buddha, a Staffordshire puppy, a skully Santa, kitties, aliens, and genius rose sock with a double-layered lace toe? This book is a celebration of knitting creativity. --knitty.com (Wild Mittens and Unruly Socks)
Author Information
Lumi Karmitsa writes, draws, and uses her hands for almost anything to make the world a more beautiful place. Five years ago, Lumi started knitting mittens for friends and got hooked. She's rapidly become a star of the Finnish knitting scene, and her inventive patterns have kicked off a colorwork knitting mania. Lumi resides in Mellinintie, Finland. This is her 3rd book with Trafalgar Square Books, following Wild Mittens & Unruly Socks (published in 2018), and Wild Mittens & Unruly Socks 2 (published in 2020).
