Herself...
Alice Starmore; aka Herself, is a brilliant knitwear designer. Her out of print knitting books sell for outrageous prices on ebay, Amazon.com, Half.com, etc. I can't believe people pay such prices but I digress...
Many of her patterns have appeared in knitting magazines as well (for a lot less money). For example,
- Maidenhair cardigan appears in Interweave Knits, Fall 1997
- Marina is in a book entitled Woolcraft (This Morning), Liz Bloor (ed.) Personally, this is my favorite of her fairisle patterns. The colors are spectacular. Check out the Gallery pages on the Knitting Beyond the Hebrides website to see some pieces knit by members.
- Thoroughbred is in Vogue Knitting International, Fall 1989
- a no-name pattern) is in Vogue International Knitting, Fall 1994
- Mara (the vest version) is in Workbasket Magazine February-March 1992
There are more, this list is just a start. So save your money folks!!! Her daughter, Jade Starmore, has a piece in Interweave Knits as well:
- Beadwork in Interweave Knits Winter 99/00
Currently, the Beadwork issue is selling for obscene prices as well due to a Knit Along currently underway. It's a nice pattern, but, well it's just not that nice.
