@martinatenzer Q: does the book include advice about using steeks?
I'm looking for v trad patterns with steeks and while I can find descriptions, the illustrations are harder to find.
Am also eyeing up a book by 1 of the authors of your book:
amazon.ca/Nordic-Knits-Birger-

Knitted fabric is like bread dough.
It can be molded and shaped when wet,
and keeps its shape when dried.
See those bumps on the neckline?
Wait till you see what blocking can do...

Do not be afraid to cut your knitting.. (especially if, like mine, it has been through the washer and hung out on a hot day... felting it a bit)
It's just steek-tastic what you can do to shape your knitting!
