Knitting in Antarctica: 28 Hat Patterns with Stories of Life 'On the Ice'
For friends Lynn and Christine, it was a lifelong dream to write a book, and what better topic than the unique place they met, Antarctica! They combined their love of knitting with Antarctica, a precious place of wild and crystalline beauty.
Self-published and professionally edited by Edie Eckmann, Knitting in Antarctica is not just a book of great hat patterns. In between the patterns are stories of different aspects of life on Ross Island, Antarctica, where the US research station, McMurdo and the New Zealand facility, Scott Base, are located. Even if you've never knit a stitch, you will find something interesting to read about.
It is richly photographed, on location, by well-known New Zealand photographer, Anthony Powell ( Video Multimedia VR Production Antarctica | Antzworks | New Zealand ), using friends and co-workers as models.
Hats knitted from this book have been featured in an Air New Zealand safety video (https://youtu.be/KZqbexjPU1c) at 1:44, and on a Sesame Street spot (how many hats can you count?)
