Maske for maske

My latest knitting book, Maske for maske, was published in Danish on 29 September by Turbine Publishing.

Sometimes all it takes is yarn, knitting needles and a simple, rhythmic pattern to find a sense of calm. For Thea Vesterby, knitting became a path to renewed energy and concentration during a stressful period in her life. These 18 knitting projects grew out of that experience, focusing on the soothing rhythm of knitting and the joy of creating something yourself.

Sweaters, cardigans, hats, neckwarmers and other accessories combine a simple Nordic aesthetic with beautiful textured and colour patterns. The result is a collection of timeless designs you will want to wear again and again.

The 18 patterns are suitable for both ambitious beginners and experienced knitters. Garment designs are available in sizes XS to XXXL.

Maske for maske includes a thorough introduction to essential knitting techniques, as well as helpful advice on choosing yarn, selecting a size and achieving the correct gauge. With clear instructions and inspiring projects, the book invites you to slow down, enjoy the process and perhaps discover the same sense of calm through knitting that Thea found herself.
