Designing Aran Sweaters
Hi Group!
Can anybody recommend some good books of stitch libraries or anything relevant if I wanted to design my own Aran sweater? I went to Amazon and came up with a couple: "220 Aran Stitches and Patterns - Volume 5 (Harmony Guides)"; and "Patterns for Guernseys, Jerseys, and Arans; Fishermen's Sweaters from the British Isles" Are either of these books any good? Are there others I should know about? Thanks! Allaya |

You definitely want the Gladys Thompson, the FIRST edition if you can lay
hands on it. Also, EZ's Almanac's January (or maybe February) project is an Aran sweater. Good basic design advice (how to divide up the circumference and how to separate the patterns).

Allaya Shelagh Hollingworth's "The Complete Book of Traditional Aran Knitting," complete with chapters on designing your own, has been on my bookshelf for several years...not that I've tried it! But the instructions and the patterns certainly look good. |
