The contemporary trend for retro-inspired fashion and vintage clothing is often overlooked in modern knitting patterns and many of today's knitters are frustrated by the limited availability of challenging patterns using interesting shapes and stitches, which is why so many are turning to vintage patterns. Unlike others knitting books based on copying vintage patterns, however, Knitting Vintage aims to reinvent retro patterns for modern fashion trends. Divided into chapters according to eras, there are approximately five knitting projects per decade, from the 1900s to the 1980s — the last time that handknitting was popular with the masses and before runway trends were so readily available and affordable. Mood boards provide illustrations, photographs, materials and colourways that were used as inspiration for the projects. A beautifully illustrated publication with a nostalgic feel, the book has a foot firmly in the present. Each project uses modern yarns but encourages the use of vintage accessories and notions, with listings of where to source them. The patterns are for more experienced knitters, but there will be a range of skill levels involved to encourage newer knitters to progress and learn new (or old!) techniques.

Описание:
In this book, Andy Gill assess the circumstances behind Dylan's most famous songs, tracing the artist's progress from young tyro folkie to acclaimed protest singer, and through the subsequent changes which saw him invent folk-rock and transform rock'n'roll with symbolist poetry, before retreating into country-tinged conservatism just as his followers were engaged in the great psychedelic freak-show of the late 1960s. Even then, he couldn't help but innovate, introducing the world to another strain of popular music — country-rock — which would come to dominate the American charts through the next decade. Always one step ahead of the crowd, always pushing himself to extend the boundaries of his art, the Dylan of the 1960s remains a beacon of integrity to which fans and fellow musicians keep returning.

The Magic Lantern was the forerunner of the modern slide projector and part of the wonderful tradition of optical projection alongside the Camera Obscura, Shadow Shows and the Magic Mirror. Long before cameras became commonplace, Magic Lanterns were used to capture images that could then be shown to an audience, to entertain and educate. Intrepid photographers would travel the world to document its people and places, from the ancient temples and tombs of Egypt to the factories and furnaces of industrialized Germany in the 19th century. A devotee of the Magic Lantern, Charlotte Fiell has painstakingly trawled through thousands of slides to put together a collection of 900 images that depict a pre-globalized world where regional customs and cultures were as distinctive as they were diverse, while the renowned geographical historian, James Ryan has assessed their cultural relevance and historical context. Here are depicted the bustling streets of Victorian London and the strangely tourist-free Taj Mahal of the 1890s. Sariclad carpet weavers in India gaze perplexed at the camera while giant statues of the Buddha smile enigmatically in Burma. These hand-coloured images are beautiful yet poignant, evoking a world now lost in the mists of time.

In days gone by, no movie star or pin-up would be caught dead without a cigarette. Smoking was sophisticated, exotic, sensual, decadent and, above all, romantic. Advertising liked to say that smoking was connected us with the opposite sex. Love at First Light celebrates the sexual play of the cigarette advertisment from the 20s to the 60s. From the corny to the slightly disturbing, sexual innuendo is never far away.
