From the distributor.....
Knitting is an art, a craft, and a part of our culture. Throughout Europe, innumerable elaborate knitting patterns were passed on from generation to generation - from mothers to daughters, but also to neighbors and friends. The art of peasant knitting provides special treasures - before today it was the foundation of traditional dress. In order to preserve this precious knowledge for future generations, Lisl Fanderl, with unfailing devotion, collected the patterns published in the three volumes of The Tradition of Knitting from women who were known for their remarkable talentas well as from Bavarian, Austrian and Swiss museums. Every single pattern was exactly reworked to the single stitch. and translated into easy-to-read knitting instructions accompanied by photographs. Lisl Fanderl's one-of-a-kind collection of patterns soon became a standard reference on knitting. (images on right and left from Bauerliches Stricken Vol 1)

Today, the demand for this knowledge is greater than ever. Happily, this classic from Lisl Fanderl is available again in a complete new edition inbrilliant colors. The three volumes are filled with beautifully modeled designs, all celebrating the heyday of folk art. Magnificent patterns for jackets, vests, socks, and more can allbe easily replicated. Furthermore, readers will gain much interesting information about repetitive patterns, loop and cable knitting, the difference between circular knitting and flat knitting, as well as many useful tips and tricks.

All this, together with details, references and folkloristic notes create an essential guidebook and a precious source of inspiration for all friends of needlecrafts.

Lisl Fanderl (1922 - 1999) was married to the famous Bavarian musician Wastl Fanderl with whom she had three daughters. The author's biggest passion was handcrafts, and she was uniquely able to inspire others. Thus, it was easy for her to entice knitting artists to provide her with their patterns for her classic book. Lisl Fanderl herself worked "day and night" to assemble the patterns for these three volumes. (images on right and left from Bauerliches Stricken Vol 2)
