Nordic Hands

“A vibrant volume of knitting, felting, and weaving projects … The cultural history enlightens … Crafters will be eager to give these varied projects a try.” – Publishers Weekly“Both an interesting read and a compilation of practical and well-conceived projects… Deftly incorporates history and culture from several Nordic countries … The projects featured in Nordic Hands are not only tempting because they are cool, but because they are accessible to many … there are projects for everyone from beginning fiber enthusiasts to deeply experienced handcrafters … The instructions for each project are thorough and clear … Should definitely be on the bookshelf of Scandinavian textile lovers.” – Robbie LaFleur in Norwegian Textile Letter“Osterhaug’s close connection to her heritage is palpable, and her accomplishments as a journalist, writer, and fiber artist earn this book a spot in any crafter’s library as the resource on all things Nordic.” – Christine Jablonski, Handwoven
