Knitting Out of Africa:
African Inspired Designs for Knitters - (by Marianne Isager).

Beautiful and historic African carpets, baskets, and other fiber and textile arts inspired Danish designer Marianne Isager to create these 16 sumptuous and sophisticated handknitted sweaters. The knitting techniques, including entrelac, double knitting, Intarsia, domino, and Fair Isle knitting, are used in traditional and contemporary ways. You'll love the intriguing designs including a Shoowa vest and Kuba pullover, and relish the patterns echoing other regional African textiles. These sweaters-all presented with step-by-step instructions and beautiful photographs-are worked in fingering-weight yarns. They're not quick to knit, but they will be timeless classics, sure to make stunning additions to your wardrobe or lifelong gifts for the most special people in your life. Experienced knitters will enjoy trying some of the more involved shapes and designs, and may be inspired to take up the challenge of designing their own African-inspired garment.

Inspired Cable Knits:
20 Creative Designs for Making Sweaters and Accessories - (by Fiona Ellis).

This is an ideal book for intermediate and experienced knitters who are looking for a new take on traditional stitch. The unique patterns for sweaters, hats, scarves, and shawls are arranged by themes - Change, Nature, Energy, and Time - that have shaped the authors design philosophy and creative process. Not for the beginner, these patterns offer intermediate knitters a challenge and the chance to create a sweater that is also a piece of art.

Beyond Wool:
25 Knitted Projects Using Natural Fibers (by Candace Eisner Strick).

If you've ever knit with a new luxurious yarn and been unhappy with the results, a book like this would have saved you time and spared you disappointment. Nine yarns--mohair, alpaca, llama, cashmere, silk, angora, qiviut, cotton, linen and hemp--are each given their own chapter in which their source, history, particular proclivities and design potentials are carefully examined. In addition, smart, simple knit patterns are offered for each yarn which make use of their individual assets. Should the yarns not be available in your locale, mail order addresses are given. Fascinating even for non-knitters.
