In this unique book  Alice Starmore leads us into the realm of glamourie and  like the witches of Gaelic folklore  casts spells with needles and a single thread. Taking her daughter Jades supernatural stories as inspiration  she uses the art of hand knitting to bewitch and bedazzle  and illustrates the tales with elaborate costumes and accessories that portray fanciful and extraordinary ideas. In creating these costumes  she has powerfully demonstrated the glamourie that can flow from the twin wands of a master magician. While the first half of this book is an unrestrained flight of fancy  the second half contains full instructions for knitting simpler and more practical garments inspired by each costume  all written with Alice Starmores trademark accuracy and precision. By developing each of these patterns from its associated costume  she has revealed how her mind works and how her imagination led her from the initial inspiration through to the final design. Alice and Jade Starmore are from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides  and its moody Celtic landscape is the backdrop to the stories  costumes and designs they have created. The final stage of Glamourie was to take their creations back out into that landscape to be photographed. They trekked to special locations  far off the beaten track  and Jades spectacular photographs depict both the sweeping panorama and the minute detail of their beloved native isle. Three years in the making  this combination of photography and fable  of highly conceptual design and practical instruction  will enchant not only knitters but also those in the fashion and costume world and readers fascinated by Scottish and Gaelic legends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529665568821,"sku":"ByrdShop_1606600834","price":500.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781606600832.jpg?v=1780940988","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rights-reverted-alice-starmores-glamourie-dover-crafts-knitting-9781606600832","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
