Alanna Okun Knihy
Alanna Okunová je autorka, redaktorka a umelkyňa, ktorej tvorba sa zameriava na zložité vzťahy medzi ľuďmi a hmotným svetom, najmä cez prizmu remesiel. Jej písanie sa ponára do hĺbky osobných príbehov a kultúrnych javov, skúmajúc, ako nám predmety a ručné práce pomáhajú pochopiť seba samých a ostatných. Okunová sa sústreďuje na tému osobnej histórie a identity, často v kontexte moderného života v mestskom prostredí. Jej prístup je introspektívny a empatický, odhaľujúc univerzálne ľudské skúsenosti prostredníctvom konkrétnych a často nečakaných tém.

An introduction to the wide world of knitting by way of making your own hat Knitting is an excellent handcraft and something people love the world over. But for the crafting faint of heart, knitting can appear daunting; you need needles (but what size?), yarn (but what weight?), and a pattern (but what kind?). Very quickly, knitting becomes another language that's tricky to navigate and even trickier to master. Knit a Hat teaches you everything you need to know about the previously scary craft: the needles you'll need, the yarn to use, and tried-and-true techniques to get you started, keep you going, and help you wrap everything up. Alanna Okun is an expert knitter and offers very accessible instructions: Her idea of starting with a hat rather than a long scarf is sure to make this book easy for even the wariest of beginners. Building on our crafting how-to series, Alanna welcomes readers into the knitting community and invites them to knit a hat with confidence.
