Book Reviews of Great Garter Stitch
Book Review: Great Garter Stitch?
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is not just plain garter stitch - however all the stitches are knitted. The projects are vaieried. The first thing I noticed is that there are no schematics of the sweaters. There are diagrams for the modular projects, but no drawings with the measurments on them. While I can work around this and create my own, most current garment knitting patterns have them. Also the reversable blanket pictures don't include the other side, important when the other side is a different color.
All of the above being said, there are a few things I'm planning on making from this book, starting with that blanket.
Summary of Great Garter Stitch
The very first stitch a new knitter learns is the garter stitch; it?s the foundation for every later skill. Usually, budding stitchers then go on to purl and more advanced techniques and forget the garter?s vast potential. But this entire beautiful collection is dedicated to that first stitch, and knitters will be amazed to find out just how much you can create using it. Acclaimed needlework authors Rita Weiss and Jean Leinhauser exhibit a gorgeous array of afghans, sweaters, hats, and more?50 different elegant and stylish projects in all. Beginners will love this book because they?ll easily be able to knit every item, while even more experienced knitters will want to make these garments because they?re so stunning.
