Throughout his years working as a knitwear designer, Brandon Mably has had the good fortune to journey around the world presenting his hugely popular "Color in Design" workshops. Wherever he went, Brandon took inspiration from the local crafts and colors. This book contains 20 projects that were inspired by such things as bracelets in an Indian Market, the rugged terrain of the Australian outback and the colorful clothes of the people of South America. Beautiful as these pieces are, they are also straightforward, with most featuring a basic stockinette stitch and his own simple colour technique. The 20 items include a Guatemalan bird-patterned slipover, Indian felted bag, Apache waistcoat, South African hands cushion, and Australian zebra swing jacket.. Brandon provides a lively commentary telling of his adventures and findings in each country. Yarns used are all by Rowan.
