Book Info: Book by Detjen, Amy, Swansen, Meg, Williams, Joyce -- Customer Review -- People chuckle when I talk about going to knitting camp. These days there are camps all over the country but the original (and quite possibly the most widely attended) is the camp started by Elizabeth Zimmermann several decades ago. Her daughter, Meg Swansen, now runs the camp which actually takes place in a hotel in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Its a fabulous experience filled with beautiful yarn and loads of knitting wisdom."Sweaters from Camp" might be better titled "Sweaters from the Campers." A couple of years ago Meg challenged all current and former campers to design sweaters using the extensive colors (160 plus) of fingering weight shetland wool in a fair isle style format. -- Customer Review -- If you love Fairisle style knitting, this book is definitely for you. It is a compilation of sweaters knit by attendees of Meg Swansens Knitting Camp, a famous knitting event held every year in Wisconsin.These knitters are some of the most experienced and creative around, so it is interesting to see what they can, as a group, come up with when challenged to create a knitted garment using all-over patterning and the rainbow of colors available in 2 ply Shetland wool.Of the 38 designs, my hands-down favorite was Ann Feielsons "Shirt-Tailed Fair Isle" with its complicated rounded hem and gorgeous colorway.
