I was so delighted by Sue Flanders' [[Cozy Knits:30 Hat, Mitten, Scarf and Sock Projects from Around the World by Sue Flanders|Cozy Knits]] that I didn't need any persuading at all to pick up her ''Nordic Knits''. This delivers forty-four patterns inspired by textiles and local traditions from Norway, Sweden and Iceland. There are a few sweaters or jackets but the majority of patterns are for smaller items such as mittens, gloves, hats and bags. All are bright and cheerful and very cosy.
When I worked my way through ''Cozy Knits'' there wasn't a single garment which I couldn't see myself wearing: some had that 'must by knitted up ''immediately''' feeling. With 'Nordic Knits' there were only a few pieces which I could see myself carrying off. I suspect that this is because my clothes tend to be classical rather than quirky but if you like to wear clothes which will be noticed you will find the book more rewarding than I did. I ''think'' that some of the patterns have been published previously: if you have a collection of such patterns and books, you should check before buying.
