The 20 hand-knit designs in Knits of a Feather are inspired by author Celeste Young"s love of birds--the patterns in their feathers, the shape and colors of their beaks, and in flight, as they lift and glide above us. Young has created a perfect blend of the abstract and the literal, the natural and the artistic in her designs. The hats, the scarves and cowls, the shawls and capelets, sweaters, and household items are reinterpreted as beautiful, one-of-a-kind knitted pieces.
