Norwegian Pick-Up Bandweaving

A very useful hb book. It starts with the history, traditions and usage of the woven bands. Then follows an equipment and 'how to' section. It also contains a number of patterns. Can be used by a beginner to learn. Just remember that one needs to practise to become proficient. The patterns are also useful for intermediate weavers and the background information is interesting for any crafter.

Lots of interesting history as well as good patterns selection

brilliant, really facinating book, detailing the history and origins, plus a Chapter on how to do it and plenty of pattern charts. Well illustrated throughout.

The best book on Norwegian band weaving I've ever seen. Thank you! :)

Glad to find a book on this topic!

Interesting book.

this was a gift requested so presumably well received

While the history aspects of this are fascinating and comprehensively covered, and there are multiple traditional patterns shown, I was really looking for a guide to table weaving, which from the illustration on the cover is similar but not the same technique or equipment. So be careful to check that this is what you want

Put your name in it and loan it to friends only if they give you their car keys or first born as collateral! This is a fantastic book. The photographs are detailed and lovely. The book begins with the history of scandinavian weaving and tools, and the uses for bands. The author is quite detailed. It's a history lesson, but in a 'sitting at your best friend's morning coffee table' kind of way, instead of a dry 7am lecture. That section alone makes it worth the price of admission. She goes on to creation of the band section, where she not only just tells you what to make, but the mechanics behind the process and how to create and design your own. I have highly recommended this book to not only fellow weavers, but to local fiber shops.

The book is very useful to know more about the Norwegian band weaving and contains several patterns as well.

カラー写真を多用し、道具類、織り方、パターン全て行き届いた内容だと思います。これからバンド織に挑戦してみようと考えている方にお勧めの本です。

Superbe livre de référence. Bien expliqué et de bonnes références historiques sur les pièces. Je le recommande fortement.

Un libro esaustivo con moltissime immagini e diagrammi
