Knitted Shawls and Wraps by Tessa Lorant

Knitted veils, clouds, capes, fichus, nightingales and many other types of Victorian-style knitted 'shawls' are collected in this book to give you the pick of knitted wraps. A wealth of traditional stitch patterns - such as 'Boule de Neige', 'Cherry Leaf', 'Tansy' and 'Coral' - combined with cleverly updated designs, caters for both new and experienced knitters. Learn how to make 'knitted fur', or enhance a wedding outfit with a delicate 'cobweb' veil. In this volume in the HERITAGE OF KNITING series Tessa Lorant has recreated some of the wonderfully warm, stylish and astonishingly varied 'flings' and 'throws' popular in Victorian times but still relevant to the 21st Century. These exciting 'coverings' a varied wardrobe for all ages and for all occasions.

Tessa Lorant began her career as a computer programmer before marrying an author who inspired her to pursue her passion for writing. She began by writing about her passion for knitting, releasing thirteen books on the subject and patenting two knitting aids. Richard Rutt's seminal A HISTORY OF HAND KNITTING features her. Tessa Lorant Warburg wrote A VOICE AT TWILIGHT, at her husband's request, after he died of cancer. This film examines what it's like to live - and die - with the Big C.

This earned Tessa the Oddfellows Social Concern Book Award, which she received at the House of Commons. Because family members kept telling her how much the book sounded like her spouse, she decided to try her hand at fiction writing. Tessa has six thriller novels and a trilogy to her credit. She's working on a detective series called PROOF POSITIVE, as well as a book about wildflowers and more Victorian knitting patterns adapted for the twenty-first century.
