ENGLISCHSPRACHIGES BUCH VON MARIANNE ISAGER

Do life experiences change us as humans? Places where we live; conversations with people we meet; travel to other countries; participation in special events. What changes and inspires an artist?

“A Knitting Life – Out into the World” is the second of three books in which Marianne Isager reveals her life as a knitter over five decades.

It wasn’t until the 1990s that Marianne Isager really began to explore the world. In this book we accompany Marianne on her travels to Latin America, Africa, Greenland and Nepal. On these journeys, the gates open wide for an abundance of inspiration. Not only the patterns of textiles, baskets and pottery, but also architecture, landscapes and all those wonders that will fill your mind and soul as you visit a new place for the first time and experience the traditions, food, people and history of the country penetrates deep into your body. As in the first book, some of her earlier and most significant designs are presented, many of which reflected the fashion of the time. This book also includes 16 new designs with knitting instructions based on the inspiration of their travels, combining all high-quality craftsmanship and yarn.

In these years of travel, Marianne’s home village of Tversted in northern Denmark remains the anchor in her life. Tversted is also the home of the Isager Yarn company, owned and operated by Marianne Isager and her daughter Helga Isager.
