Lærke Bagger and Peech launches collab
A hedonistic craft book about desire, courage and creativity
With Strik 3, knitwear designer Lærke Bagger invites you into a universe where handicraft is more than stitches and patterns. It's self-care, energy, community and a hunger for life. The book contains new patterns, new techniques and personal essays that turn handicraft, and life itself, into a sensory experience.
Lærke's books aren't just about knitting patterns. She ties handicraft to the emotions that surface when you create something out of almost nothing. Change, grief, experience, rebellion against tradition, disappointment, courage, desire, tall tales, joy and wildness.
Strik 3 is, above all, about pleasure in all its nuances, and the book lives by the mantra "Trust Your Lust."
Strik 3 contains 15 new designs, from lace blouses to oversized sweaters and sexy knitwear, along with a range of new, experimental techniques. At the same time, Lærke Bagger revives old handicraft techniques, lace knitting, "hen stitch" and great-grandmother's meticulous crochet, and gives them a new expression and an entirely new life.
Most of the designs are built to be varied and developed endlessly, depending on the knitter's (or crocheter's) personality, mood and stage of life. The book's designs are rooted in the idea that desire should never be suppressed and that knitting is a source of both self-care and community.
Strik 3 is for everyone who loves handicraft and wants to love themselves, and life, more.
