"This & That is a continuation of Pam Allen's exploration in designing with alpaca fibers. Her ten new designs include shapes that go beyond the basic sweater: a cardigan with an understated peplum, a dress with a gathered waistline, a Bohus-inspired round-yoke pullover, a classic peasant top--all these and more come alive in Quince & Co's alpaca and wool blend yarns. Pam's long career in knitwear design has yielded hundreds and hundreds of satisfying and easily wearable projects."--Publisher marketing.

Inspired by the Sparrow and Kestrel linen yarns made by Quince & Company, this collection uses geometric shapes and unusual construction to provide adventurous knitters with 10 new designs that are perfect for wearing in the warmer months. True to form, the author makes use of her masterful understanding of the knitted stitch and characteristics unique to plant fiber types like linen to create unconventional designs. The book includes patterns for three tees, two short-sleeved open cardigans, a shrug, a poncho, a tank top, a scarflet, and a shawlet. The pieces feature eyelets, dropped stitches, cables, and mesh to be used alone or in combination. These projects are far from basic, garden-variety pieces--each one a bold statement of modern style.

"The projects in [this book] are proof that, with the right yarn, simple shapes and stitches are all that's needed to create essential knits. Worked in Quince & Co.'s worsted weight wool/alpaca Owl yarn, the 11 designs featured in the book cover all manner of plain, simple, and utterly necessary knits including pullovers, cardigans and accessories with details to keep the knitter engaged and the wearer happily warm-- a classic collection for the ages."--Amazon.com.
