Sasha Kaga's Classic Collection by Sasha Kagan

Product Description
Iconic knitwear designer Sasha Kagan treats readers to a fascinating retrospective of her work from the past four decades in this beautifully presented collection of women’s knitwear. Known for her innovative use of color, intarsia design work, and striking patterns, Sasha’s designs transcend fashion trends and have become classic pieces in their own right. Updated and reworked in gorgeous contemporary yarns, these 20 sweaters, wraps, and jackets are just as wearable today as they were when they were created. The collection spans from 1969 to 2009, with five patterns representing each decade. In addition, swatches, magazine articles, and photographs are included to recreate the original design context for the pieces. Also included are essays by knitwear design notables like Trish Malcolm from Vogue, and British designers Steven Sheard and Susan North.

My Review
The art that Sasha has delivered in this book is amazing! I love the gallery of designs spanning from 1969-present! The photos are only half of the art given in this book. The other portion of the book that blows my mind, is the detail in the instruction on how to make each of the masterpieces shown in the photos. In addition to instruction on particular projects shown, Sasha also gives mini instruction on yarn picking, knitting in color, and yarn distributors.
Overall, Sasha did a beautiful job in delivering a masterpiece of art in conjunction with teaching techniques of particular projects.
