Everything you need for aran knits........2007-05-25
I looked at a lot of Aran sweater patterns, but I just couldn't find the perfect one. I bought this book after I checked it out from my local libary, because it's an essential for any knitting bookshelf. It has every stitch you could want, plus many combinations of stitches. It helps you put together your own unique combinations by organizing the stitch pattterns by the number of rows for each repeat. For each stitch you get a clear color photo, row-by-row directions, and chart directions. It also has comparison photos of common cables and bobbles by size, and how to read the charts and abbreviations.
220 Aran Stitches and Patterns volume 5.......2007-04-10
It is nicely laid out with a lot of helpful information. I especially like the stitch keys at the bottom of each page. I found it very helpful as a knitter that is new to cabling.
Great Book!.......2007-03-09
Great Patterns, beautiful stitches, easy to follow steps. Brief history of Aran knitting and some nice pictures.
One of my first Stitches books, still a favorite.......2006-10-19
I must have gotten one of the first of these, and I read it like a novel for the first week I had it. I love the history and maps and photos at the front. I prefer the charting style to what is in a lot of patterns, because I almost always end up using circular needles. I prefer to do top-down in the round knitting whenever I can. I love the photos and the combinations. I think I've used at least something out of this book on at least 10 projects (that actually got finished!)
Only complaint: Yes, the binding on my copy came apart fairly early on. So, I punched holes in the sheets and put it all in a 3 ring binder with pages that I print off the internet and little clips of yarns and stuff. The binder has one of those clear plastic covers that I slipped the covers of the book into.

220 Aran Stitches and Patterns - Volume 5 (Harmony Guides).......2006-09-21
I usually like Harmony Guides knitting stitch Patterns books however, this one really didn't do anything for me. It had a lot of nice, but safe Aran cable patterns and only a handful of interesting cables that you normally don't see on an Aran sweater. The best section in the book is titled COMBINATIONS. This gives a person a good idea about how to combine the various patterns for an Aran project (be it a sweater, pillow, purse, scarf, etc.).
I would recommend Barbara G. Walker's Treasury of Knitting Patterns 1, 2, 3 and 4 over this book if you are an experienced knitter. If you are just starting out, this book would be a nice basic addition to your knitting book collection.

Love, love, love this book!!.......2007-01-05
This book is the best in many ways. Spectacular designs, wonderfully written patterns, easy to follow schematics, special directions for special stitches. I love being able to make Aran style sweaters in crochet. The way the book is written it is also easy to use certain stitches and design my own sweater. Yes, you can do cables with crochet and they are beautiful!
wearable crocheted sweaters.......2006-08-29
This book and Lily Chin's upcoming book are the only crochet books I've ever found that have sweaters I would actually wear. Instructions are clear. I'm mostly a knitter who dabbles in crochet and I had no problem with these directions.
Easy and fun!.......2006-05-30
I absolutely love this book! I wanted to take a brake from knitting and knew this book would be just the right thing to use of some yarn that didn't work out for a different project. The patterns are timeless and the possibilities are endless with the wide variety of yarns available. I've made the cover sweater and the crewneck cardigan and I couldn't be happier with the results. Crochet looks so neat and tidy and the stitches give such wonderful texture. The instructions are very clear and the stitch patterns are easy to remember so you don't have to do much flipping around. This is a definite must for anyone looking to crochet sweaters.
Behind the Scenes.......2005-08-05
I have a confession: I developed and edited this book for ME! Usually, in the book business, products are developed with a target reader in mind. Well, I broke the rules when I asked the designer, Jane Snedden Peever, to create the garments for Crocheted Aran Sweaters. I *love* every sweater in this book! In fact, I've already made half of them, and have yarn picked out to stitch the rest.
Plus, I've used the stitch patterns, which are explained in the Pattern Work Encyclopedia, to make other sweaters for me and my husband, and an afghan for his office.
Every time I wear one of the sweaters from this book, at least a handful of people admire the work and marvel that they're crocheted rather than knit. The work looks very intense, but most of the garments are actually easy to stitch. Scottish Reel, for example, has blocks worked in a variety of stitches. It looks really hard. But it isn't, because you make rectangles, working one stitch pattern after another, and then sew the pieces together. I made my Scottish Reel sweater in three days (of course, this is part of my job, so I stitched for seven hours a day).
Another thing I like about the sweaters in this book is that practically any Aran-weight yarn can be used for any of the sweaters. You can walk into any yarn or craft shop and probably find a yarn that'll work. How cool is that?
I hope that you enjoy this book as much as I do.
Wonderful!!.......2004-01-01
What a wonderful book! The patterns are so amazing looking and so detailed. I can't wait to get started! After reading this book, I'd definitely recommend it.

Book Description
In 1934, the people of Inishmaan learn that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island to film a documentary. No one is more excited than Cripple Billy, an unloved boy whose chief occupation has been grazing at cows and yearning for a girl who wants no part of him. For Billy is determined to cross the sea and audition for the Yank. And as news of his audacity ripples through his rumor-starved community,
The Cripple of Inishmaan becomes a merciless portrayal of a world so comically cramped and mean-spirited that hope is an affront to its order.

Continues his assault on/perpetuation of Irish stereotypes.......2006-01-22
Debates rage among scholars and teachers of Irish literature about McDonagh's mordant take on the hackneyed rural dramatic stereotypes foisted on so many 20c audiences. This play adds to the earlier "trilogy" only more of the same fuel for the fire.
When I saw it performed, however, it seemed far too pat. I decided to read it to see what I missed out in witnessing it. The elderly ladies' banter that begins and closes the play sets the scene efficiently, but did still not move me much. The play's essential veracity--if that's an applicable word--depends on how Cripple Billy can convince. Helen's acerbic tongue's a welcome dollop of levity to offset the revelations Pateenjimmymike provides. The set-speech delivered by Billy from his Hollywood hotel room works well on two levels and slyly dismantles the Synge-speak so beloved by so many stage Irish and those who put the brogues in their mouths on so many screens and in thousands of theatres.
Not as vicious as the Leenane "trilogy" of Beauty Queen/Skull in Conamara/Lonesome West (the last of which I think his best "Irish" effort). Not as satirical as his other "Aran" play, "Lieutenant of Inishman". I wonder why his final effort in his second trilogy, "The Banshee of Inisheer," has never been published?
With his recent "Pillowman," it looks as if McDonagh's at last extending his sights into more Kafka/Beckett-esque and Continental influences, to his credit. I think in time these early plays will be seen as a warm-up for more intricate efforts. There's only so far you can send-up the Abbey Theatre-school of dramatic emoting, after all.
My favorite McDonagh!!!!.......2002-12-13
Wonderfully dark, mean and hysterical, but under it all is the message that we all need family, community and each other. McDonagh has an incredible way with very natural stage dialogue and his characters are unique and vivid. I laughed on every page and winced with every vicious attack. Although some may argue that the play is hateful and sad, I have read few plays as ultimately life affirming. To use every characters' sentiments, Ireland mustn't be such a bad place if Martin McDonagh writes so well about it!
We're not really under 13........2001-01-10
This play is by Martin McDonagh, an award-winning playwright whose previous Irish play, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, won a Tony award for Best Play. The Cripple of Inishmaan focuses on the lives of the residents of Inishmaan in 1934. We follow Billy the cripple, the main character of this play. The supporting characters include: Helen, a feisty young lass who has a tongue that would offend even the most colorful drunk. Billy's two aunts, Kate, who talks to rocks, and Eileen, who runs a sweets store. Johnnypateenmike, the town gossip, as well as BabbyBobby who is constantly getting his old lady drunk, and finally Bartley, Helen's younger brother. This is a riveting story that will bring you on a roller coaster ride of emotion. You will experience love, hate, compassion, joy, sadness, but most of all, you will laugh. This play is hysterical! We would recommend reading it or seeing it to anyone who enjoys theater, or just likes Irish culture, or even if you like Hollywood in the 1930's. The story centers on Billy and his wanting to be in a film that is being made on the neighboring island of Inishmoore, The Man of Aran. To get to the island, he has to tell everyone that he has tuberculosis so that they will feel sorry for him and let him go. Billy later decides to leave his aunts and the island and go to Hollywood with the rest in an attempt to fulfill his dream of becoming a film actor. Does Billy really have tuberculosis? Does he have what it takes to make it in the harsh world that is Hollywood? There's only one way to find out.
"Cripple of Inishmaan" tells the truth........2000-02-29
I have not yet had the chance to read "The Cripple of Inishmaan," however I have had the rare opportunity to see it performed at the Pioneer Memorial Theater in Salt Lake City. This play is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed it from start to finish, despite some of the harsh language. It only served as tool to further explore the characters. This play gave me the opportunity to explore a huge range of emotions in a short amount of time. I was laughing when it started and crying when it ended. The story is beautiful and gives a true and realistic view of humanity as we know it today.
An outstanding play!.......1999-11-03
"The Cripple of Inishmaan" by Martin Macdonagh is an excellent play about the lives and happenings of the people from Inishmaan. Fearful of water after his parents alledgly died in it he will/has never crossed water. Now that a Hollywood film director comes to make a film in a neibhouring island "The man from Aran", Billy decides that it's time to leave Eileen and Kate who have minded him since childhood. The women are totally destressed about his departure and turn to gluttony and senility for consolation. The news comes fronm the local newsteller Johnnypateenmike that Billy has Gone to Hollywood. However having failed in Hollywood Billy returns to Inishmaan to face all the people that he has left behind. He considers suicide but then Helen(a loudspoken local girl) agrees to go on a date with him- even though he is deformed in every possible way. This is a beautifully told story and would draw a tear from a stone. Read it now!

Well, I didn't think it could get any better, but this book does just that. More beautiful sweaters and again, the best instructions and schematics. If you love the first book, you will love this one also. Just not enough time for me to make all the beautiful sweaters.
Jane Snedden Peever is my favorite crochet designer.......2006-08-29
When I picked up this book I was surprised at the designs. They look great and straddle that fine line between conservative and boring. The yarns used are easy to find and make substitutions, and the directions are clear and easy to follow. Most of all I would wear any of the sweaters in the book. Can't wait to start crocheting more aran sweaters.
A wealth of more Aran-style designs with new stitch patterns.......2005-11-06
Jane Snedden Peever's More Crocheted Aran Sweaters provides a sequel to her popular Crocheted Aran Sweaters, providing a wealth of more Aran-style designs with new stitch patterns.

Aran Sweaters part 2.......2005-09-12
This is the second volume of crocheted Aran sweaters. The first offered a variety of patterns and styles that tempt crocheters of most skill levels to try an Aran sweater. This volume has more of a "traditional Aran" feel to it and seems to be for the more skilled crocheter, with the emphasis on cables and twists. The instructions are clear. Experienced crocheters looking for a traditional Aran look will find much to make in this book. Less experienced crocheters will be happier with the first volume.
Book Description
Known and prized around the world in the form of the "Irish fisherman's sweater," Aran knitting features distinctive, highly textured patterns of cables and ropes. Suitable for novices to the Aran style as well as for experienced knitters, this guide offers start-to-finish advice. More than 20 patterns, illustrated by 117 close-up photographs, include:
• Traditional fisherman's sweater
• Family sweater, with round, polo, or V-neck
• Cardigans
• Jackets and coats

• Cushion covers
Traditional Aran Knitting also explains the history of the craft and the meaning behind the coded "messages" woven into the unique Aran patterns.

Nothing much happens on the Aran Islands--at least, not much went on there in the late 19th century, when John Synge sailed out to these mist-shrouded, salt-sprayed, and wave-battered chunks of rocks south of Ireland. Therein lies the charm of the setting and of this lovely book, which captures the saltiness of both the marine air and the time-lost characters, who deeply believe in the magical "wee people." In cottages where nets and fishing tackle hang from beams, the women (who always wear red dresses and petticoats, as do some of the boys) sit at their spinning wheels or sew cow-skin sandals, while the fishermen spin yarns about fairies, sunken vessels, and bags of gold gained from adulterous wives. The big happening of the year is when roofs are rethatched--an event that blossoms into a festival with twisted rope stretching from kitchen table through lane to nearby field. Synge seems an ambassador from a different world: addressed as "noble person," he brings tokens of modernity--be they clocks or simple magic tricks that beguile the locals. First published in 1907, this re-released travelogue gives a poignant peek into another time and begs a visit to the Aran Islands to see how, or if, they have changed. --Melissa Rossi

A few of the younger men looked doubtful, but the older people, who have watched the rye turning into oats, seemed to accept the magic frankly, and did not show any surprise that 'a duine uasal' (a noble person) should be able to do like the witches.

Another world.......2007-01-31
Not only does this book describe a time long past but Synge has a deeper sense of the psychology of the inhabitants of the Aran Islands and how it differs with that of "civilized" people of the time. Anyone who is interested in this topic and enjoys this book would do well to read Twenty Years A-Growing by Maurice O'Sullivan, which is a personal account by Mr. O'Sullivan of his life on Ireland's Great Blasket Island and is a wonderful, lyrical read that shows alot of humor as well as love for the natural world around him.
Stories in another tongue.......2006-02-11
This book describes the adventures of J. M. Synge on the Aran Islands around the turn of the Twentieth Century. William Butler Yeats suggested that Synge visit the island in order to learn Irish and become acquainted with traditional Irish culture as it had been preserved on the islands. Synge followed his suggestion, and made four lengthy trips to the islands. In this book, he recounts his experiences on the islands, together with some of the stories and poems that were recited to him there.
The book is a unique collection of travelogue, journal, and research notebook. Synge describes his relationships with individuals on the islands, as well as some of the common traits and customs observable there. He tells us about harrowing sea passages that he took from island to island in small rowed boats, and records a number of folk-tales that were shared with him by island residents. Synge was to draw on all of this material in his later writing career, making the book quite interesting for those who enjoy his plays. The book also provides informative details of what daily life was like in this remote region at the time.
Lively Reading.......2004-07-06
The search for authentic experiences is regarded as an important theme in postmodernism. John Millington Synge's book demonstrates that this quest for authenticity has been an important part of cultural inquiry for a long time. This wonderful book was written almost one hundred years ago, but it reads like a contemporary ethnographic inquiry. He provides vivid descriptions of daily life and wonderful presentations of the folklore of the Aran Islands. The book is primarily descriptive, but there are interesting textures and conclusions throughout Synge's writing. I would recommend reading this book and then watching Flaherty's film "Man of Aran." Follow up that visual feast with Stoney's "The Making of the Myth." To complete your excursion, top things off with a reading of Synge's "Playboy of the Western World" and "Riders to the Sea," two fine plays that he set on the Aran Islands. The stories, descriptions, and textures within Synge's book will become very clear when you're finished.
An Insight Into The Irish Soul.......2003-03-15
"The Aran Islands" is a delightful rendition of the experiences of J. M. Synge during his visits to the Aran Islands just over a century ago. Synge's journey had been encouraged by William Butler Yeats. "Go to the Aran Islands. Live there as one of the people themselves; express a life that has never found expression." Here Synge gained an insight into the Irish character which would enrich his later works.
The Aran Islands are a chain of islands off the coasts of Connemara and Clare. Isolated by the sea, the Arans, like the Galapagos in the natural world, preserve the language and customs of traditional Ireland.
The book is a narrative of what Synge saw and the stories he heard during his stays in the Arans, told by a master storyteller in the finest Irish tradition. The language is delightful, the stories are entertaining and the insight into the Irish soul is profound. A must read for any lover of the Irish.
I was named after the island.......2003-02-09
My dad was born there in the 1950's and i was named after it. not a bad place, not much to do but nice to visit. the book is informal but informative.

Book Description
New edition of knitting classic. Traditional handnitting designs for men and women. Features colorful Fair Isles, hard-wearing Aryans and Guernseys, delicate Shetland patterns and garments from Iceland and the Falklands. Inclues usable pattern sections.
Amazon.com
Alice Starmore's definitive explanation of an Irish Aran sweater and its development is surprising and fascinating. Arans are not ancient, and--contrary to popular legend--they were not developed as fishermen's garments. Starmore offers fairly convincing evidence that "true" Aran sweaters were adapted in this century from Scottish fishing ganseys. They are unarguably warm, practical, and beautiful, and here they are gorgeously photographed. Starmore, one of the knitting world's living treasures, includes specific cable patterns, patterns for 14 garments (both Aran and Celtic-style), and a clear, sensible guide to designing original Aran sweaters.
Book Description
Packed with color and design, this significant book presents a complete Alice Starmore workshop in Aran Knitting.Step-by-step instructions, photos and drawings lead readers through 60 charted patterns that progress from the basic concepts of using a cable needle to the myriad variations of Aran technique.It includes 14 original Alice Starmore designs, and celtic knotwork.

The ONLY Book You Need for Aran Knitting.......2007-02-10
Not only are the photographs and the settings breathtaking, but Alice Starmore designs are classics. Each pattern gives you detailed directions and includes a rating guide for easy, intermediate and expert knitters.
Yes, some of the yarns are no longer available - but using the gauge given, you should have no trouble finding a yarn to substitute.
It's the details that count - the pleasing arrangement of the stitch sections and the saddles on some of the sweaters.
If you ever get an opportunity to grab this book at a reasonable price, do not hesitate.
Can anyone help me?.......2006-11-16
Wow, I would like to order the Hebridean yarn from Alice Starmore for the following project, but she says that one needs a copy of Aran Knitting for the instructions. I don't really feel like paying hundreds of dollars for the book (no knitting book is worth that much, no matter how much I hold Alice Starmore in esteem!) Can anyone who has this book help me with the instructions to this shawl (below) - my email is [...]:
ST CIARAN
St Ciaran is worked in Hebridean 3 Ply on 4.5mm needles with a tension of 21 sts and 28 rows to 10cm measured over St.St. Revised width and length measurements are shown in the detail.
Available in any colour of Hebridean 3 Ply.

Aran Knitting.......2005-12-01
This is a beautiful book. It's "COFFEE TABLE" beautiful. The history of Aran knitting, and the photographt are gorgeous.
The sweaters that Alice Starmore designed are wonderful. The mens sweaters are timeless, but the women's sweaters are a bit dated. This could be easily remidied by adjusting the fit of the sweater while using the stitches that are part of the original design.
Alice Starmore has a number of nice stitch patterns in the book that are also listed in numerous other knitting stitch books (The Big Book of Knitting, The Harmony Guide to Knitting Stitches Vol. 1 and 2, Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Knitting, Charted Knitting Designs by Barbara G. Walker, The Complete Book of Knitting by Barbara Abbey, to name a few). There are a couple of Celtic cable patterns that are more intriguing, but is it worth buying the book for $100+ just to have access to those few stitches?
So, to sum it up. I would definitely give this book 5 stars on overall first impression, even on the sweater patterns and charts, but as far as the stitches within the book - about 4 stars, there are many other books out there with more comprehensive patterns. Buy the book if you want the history, the sweater patterns, but if you're looking for a good book on Aran Knit Stitches, try a stitch encyclopedia book and come up with your own designs.
