In the Author's Words....
"In preparing the designs for this book, I was inspired by Yup'ik and Inupiat art and culture. None of the designs in Chapter 8 is a traditional Oomingmak patttern; to obtain the real thing, you will want to contact the co-op. By working one of more of these patterns, however, I hope that you will gain a deep appreciation for the traditional designs while increasing your own knitting skills." (pg 9)
From the publisher.....
"Qiviut, or musk ox down, may be the world’s most luxurious, warm, and lightweight fiber. People who experience it become obsessed with its exquisite softness. Qiviut makes perfect hand-knitted lace, as demonstrated by the Alaskan artisans of Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers’
Co-op. This book presents instructional workshops on knitting and designing lace, a sequence of projects suited to new as well as experienced lace knitters, a list of yarn sources, and comprehensive historical background."
