2 l About the Book
Maggie
Jackson brings a fashion designer's approach
to hand knits, so it's no surprise Maggie's
Ireland is arranged as a runaway collection
would be - in colour stories. And this collection
is as much fun to knit as it is to wear.
Simple stitches combined with Traditional
Irish Linen and Tweed Yarns to create lines
and blocks of texture. These are enhanced
with strips of fabric, even fur, to give
Maggie's innovative techniques a variety
that is irresistible. Over 40 projects range
from casual to sophisticated for every season,
every occasion.
The photo shoot is an integral part of Maggie's
Ireland. The journey is warm and personal.
Maggie is your guide, as you meet the locals,
hear the stories. You can't quite smell
the soda bread baking over a peat fire,
but you'll certainly see a double rainbow.
Each chapter includes interior accent pieces
and a tempting Irish recipe with cordon
bleu presentation by Chef Stevie - all shot
on location. Savour the spectacular Carrick-a-rede
rope bridge, Giant's Causeway, Mussenden
Temple, the Mourne Mountains, Queens University,
the Ulster Folk Museum, and historic Slieve
Donard Hotel. Come take a closer look.
