Tricot and Knitting by Les Editions de Saxe

Winter has definitely come! And if our Christmas in Italy was almost a "Spring Xmas", with mild temperatures and no coats at all, well now the time to wear warmer and heavier clothes has come! Scarves, hats, wool jumpers, gloves... These are all fundamental accessories, to face the cold we're experiencing in these snowy, when not icy, days. And this weather is also the ideal one to stay home, the luckiest of you in front of a warming fireplace, and devote yourself to knitting!

So, here are the latest publications focusing on knitting!
The undisputable best seller for this craft is the French magazine Editions de Saxe, Tricot full of projects to knit hats, scarves and dresses as well, to live the coldest season in the warmest way.

Another similar magazine (at least in its title) is the French Tricoter dedicated to sweaters, dresses and ponchos. Knitting needles are the fundamental tools, to turn your wool balls into fashionable, perfect clothing for this Winter 2012!

Always from Editions de Saxe here's a French-Japanese book, signed by the sweet Toshiyuki Shimada and dedicated exclusively to scarves: Echarpes réversibles au tricot. While it's fully dedicated to children Motifs tricotés pour bébés et enfants, a 112-page volume, where Lucinda Guy illustrates a series of projects inspired by François Hall and transposed on wool and fabric.

And if your knitting skills are already "one step ahead", try the "adventure" of Irish knitting, with Le guide du tricot irlandais that, page after page, will let you discover simple or more elaborated patterns and decorations for throws, table sets and cushions...

Knitting is going to have no secrets for you anymore!
