Inspired by traditional knits, up-and-coming designers Kate Gagnon Osborn and Courtney Kelley put their own contemporary spin on knitting in Vintage Modern.

Vintage Modern Knits features several different traditional techniques-cables, Fair Isle, lace, colorwork, and more- all showcased in modern, luxurious projects that are fun to knit and even more fun to wear. Divided into three sections (Vintage Feminine, Rustic Weekend, and Winter Harbor), Vintage Modern showcases tailored lines, close fit, and easy-to wear style. These classic, yet contemporary projects are sure to enhance any knitter's wardrobe and be stylish for years to come.

Projects range from quick mittens, hats, shawls, and scarves to cozy cardigans and pullovers in a variety of knitting techniques. From classic designs with fashion-forward color schemes to funky cable sweaters for weekend living, each pattern takes its inspiration from classic silhouettes and adds updated twists for unique must-have pieces.

Courtney Kelley and Kate Gagnon Osborn co-own Kelbourne Woolens, distributors of the Fibre Company’s unique artisan yarns. Their popular patterns have appeared in Knitscene, Interweave Knits, Interweave Crochet, and Vogue Knitting. They live in Philadelphia.


One major pitfall of many vintage–style knitting books is that the garments and accessories make wearers look like they’re going to a retro costume party. Kelley and Osborn, co–owners of the yarn company Kelbourne Woolens, avoid this by taking aspects of vintage style—classic tailoring, delicate details, and feminine touches—and incorporating them into garments and accessories that look contemporary. The majority of the patterns are best approached by intermediate to advanced knitters, but adventurous beginners will find exciting challenges as well. A classic, accessible collection. – Library Journal
