Sasha Kagan's Classic Collection
This retrospective of patterns from iconic British knitwear designer Kagan spans the entirety of her career, from the 1960s to the present. Though some of the designs are old enough to be considered retro, there's nothing "costumey" about them--they're more suited to a garden party on a grand estate. VERDICT Knitters familiar with Kagan's aesthetic will find everything they expect in this collection: intarsia and stranded color work, nature-inspired motifs, and classic yet timeless silhouettes.--HEATHER HALLIDAY, American Jewish Historical Soc., New York"Library Journal" (02/15/2012)
