Have you seen Teva Durham's first book, Loop-d-Loop? FABULOUS! Our local bookstore had a few copies in yesterday, and I got the chance to thumb through it a bit. The patterns are edgy and unique - truly inspiring. The book also includes a lot of insight into the designer's process... can't wait to see knits from this popping up on blogs. Has anyone already bought it and/or started a project from it?

Posted by: Lauren at April 23, 2005 11:47 PMi'm determined to make the lace leaf pullover from the loop-d-loop book, the one that was featured in this summer's interweave knits -- i think it's gorgeous, and i'm also interested in the general construction of this pullover .. as i understand it, you knit from the top down and the bottom up and then graft the two pieces together. why i'm not sure but it's bound to be fun (i hope)!
are you going to get the book? i like her designs in general so very much, i'm quite tempted.
also, the baby sweater is adorable -- and glad to hear the patterns are good. i just got my copy from the library ;)

Posted by: lori z at April 24, 2005 9:50 AMI'm with you, I think Teva Durham's designs are so contemporary and off the beaten path. I thought the book was coming out in June or something, so I'm glad you posted this.

Posted by: susanne at April 25, 2005 3:52 AMOoh ... I've been dying to see this book. I think that she is truly a unique and amazing designer ... the kind of stuff that makes me feel like I'm just playing around, but she's incredible!
Posted by: Jenifer at April 25, 2005 9:32 AMi've renewed the book as many times s my library will allow. i've been so excited i made the u-neck boobble top....& the vest done in rowan polar. i've bought yarn for the ballet tee top. i am thinking of breaking down & buying her book.....have you seen the argle top on her website..wow
