New book: Arne & Carlos "Knit-and-Crochet Garden"

Good news for the fans of the Scandinavian knitting duet: Arne and Carlos - the English edition of their knit and crochet book has been available on sale now :) I'm a big fan of A & C myself. My own copy arrived from Amazon about a month ago :) I'm lovin' this book! It's so full of spring/summery ideas and vibrant with colours. Perfect book to work on after Christmas as the spring is approaching :) A few photos for you to have a peek inside the book:


Definitely the star projects in this book are the crocheted blankets:
I'm in love with this one:


Classic granny squares:


According to A & C they are a perfect way to use up your stashed scraps of yarn



There are plenty of crochet projects for your home and garden:





And there's also something for the cross stitch lovers:
pansy cushion covers, xxl cross stitch :)




Most of all I love these knitted sachets - they are gorgeous! I think after Christmas I'll have a go at them. 




There are a few new knitted characters in this book too:



And of course Arne an Carlso are showing oof their gorgeous scrapbook:



Happy Days:


And finally the famous photo from the book that went all over the internet:


In the meantime A & C are busy publishing their next book! It's not known yet when exactly the English edition will come out but for sure it's going to be in 2014. The new book will be all about a regional Nordic knitting (from Setesdal) and it will feature projects like socks, mittens, jumpers and some toys :) As always I'm awaiting this book very impatiently.
