READING || TEMPEST BOOK REVIEW
Tempest by Holli Yeoh for Sweet Georgia Yarns |
This gorgeous collection of 11 patterns is sure to have you drooling! Felicia's (of Sweet Georgia Yarn) lovely fibers just shine in this pretty collaboration with the talented Holli. Tempest was inspired by the idea of just that - tempest.
I love how the designs stay trued to their inspiration and embodied both the shelter and the storm. I also enjoyed seeing the photography taken in both Steveston and Richmond. I lived in Vancouver, BC for quite some time and Steveston was one of my favorite places to go visit. The scenes paired up beautifully with the colors of the yarns that Holli chose.
Tempest is 84 pages filled with 11 gorgeous patterns ranging from garments, cowls, a blanket, hat, poncho and more! The photography is gorgeous and full color throughout. The book is inspiring, pleasant to read and the patterns are offered in a clean and easy to follow instructional format with both charts and written instructions along with diagrams, tips & techniques, yarn information and more! Tempest is available in both a print book as well as an eBook. You can read more about Tempest and see more images etc on the Tempest website HERE.
I highly recommend this dreamy book from 2 very talented fellow Canadian women. I'm a fan of both Felicia and Holli's work and Tempest does not disappoint! Tempest would make a great holiday gift for any fellow knitter or for a special treat just for you. So grab some Sweet Georgia Yarn and a copy of Tempest and get lost in Holli's designs. You can also join the Tempest community to learn (video tutorials), chat (discussion forums) and share ( #tempestknit) Tempest projects via the Tempest website HERE.
