Book Reviews of the Colorful Knitwear Design (Threads On)
Customer Review: Short articles about design and technique for knitters
Summary: 5 Stars
Threads Magazine used to publish an occasional knitting article. After much hemming (!) and hawing, they decided to concentrate on sewing only. This was a loss to knitters but the Threads publishers have collected the articles into a series of books. Thanks, Taunton Press!This particular volume has articles on techniques such as strip-knitting, which is back in vogue right now. You make a garment in a series of knitted-together strips that form the shape of the garment by varying their lengths. Each strip can be a different pattern or offset patterns and lends a very nice ethnic look (think mudcloth or other handcrafted textiles.)
There are articles about design techniques such as symmetry, texture stitches with colorwork, some lace and a few intarsia things that look a lot like Kaffe Fasset style knitting. Mostly this book is ABOUT the design and not about the patterns, so if you like to design this is for you. If you are looking for a book of models to knit from patterns, you might be disappointed.
