Easy Knits by Debbie Bliss

Would you like to knit something gorgeous for a new baby, but don’t have weeks to spend on it?

The Celtic Collection by Debbie Bliss

25 Celtic-inspired Designs

With its beautiful earthy colours and distinctive designs, the knitwear of Scotland, Ireland and Wales has always been a source of inspiration. In this original collection of over 25 Celtic-inspired designs for both children and adults, bestselling knitwear designer Debbie Bliss gives a contemporary twist to traditional designs. She has simplified the more complex patterns, and the styles and colours are just right for today. Designs include chunky Aran and Guernsey sweaters, delicate summer cardigans in the colours of heather and moss, simple classic Fair Isles including a baby's cardigan with matching socks and an irresistible throw, moss-stitch jackets, and more. A number of these versatile patterns are suitable for a wide range of ages, from babies to adults, and every design is illustrated with evocative photography.

The Family Collection by Debbie Bliss

A wonderfully versatile collection of knitwear designs for the whole family, from infants to adults. Debbie Bliss has often been asked why her stunning children's knitwear designs are not available in adult sizes. Now, at last, here is her first collection for the entire family. Many of the designs in this exciting new book include patterns for a complete size range, so that a classic guernsey sweater, for example, can be knitted either for a two-year-old or an adult man. A number of the designs also include variations and different colorways; a woman's cabled sweater, for instance, is also featured as a child's cardigan using the same stitch patterning. Family Knits is presented in four strikingly styled sections: Seashore, Outdoor Living, Country Weekend, and City Living, with projects ranging from simple knits to cable stitches and color patterning. With its stylish and versatile designs, easy-to-follow patterns and charts, and gorgeous color photos.
