She shows how to adapt each pattern for a child, and--in a delightful tribute to her own obsession--for a Barbie doll as well.\u003cbr\u003eAs L rke knits her way through grief, an identity crisis, and the reconstruction of her family life, she offers support for knitters on their own journeys of self-acceptance: tips for embracing imperfection, clever project-saving strategies, and the encouragement to experiment with ribbons, beads, fringes and different types of yarn. Knitters familiar with L rke's joyfully laid-back attitude will be delighted to find new avenues for their creativity. A new crop of fans will discover a wise and encouraging teacher, who celebrates rule-breaking, innovation, and the practice of knitting through your feelings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eL?RKE BAGGER\u003c\/b\u003e holds a master's degree in design from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
