Book Reviews of Shadow Knitting
Book Review: Extremely Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I made the mistake of buying this book without looking through it. I wish I had. I would never make a single pattern in this book. All of the sweater designs are completely unflattering: oversized and boxy. And all of the illusion designs are simple geometric shapes. Nothing is different or interesting.
But worst of all: there is no clear section on how to make your own illusion patterns! Luckily I have since found a website that has a tutorial. This book was a complete waste of money.
Summary of Shadow Knitting
The mysteries of shadow knitting—a simple technique of alternating rows of dark and light yarn to produce a subtle patterning that appears and disappears depending on the angle from which it is viewed—are explored and refined here by a professional knitwear designer. The basic principles and techniques of shadow knitting are introduced through clear, well-illustrated instructions and are followed by spectacular projects that include winged shawls, squared bags, a matching cap and scarf, vests, sweaters, and Japanese-style kimonos. Each project is accompanied by step-by-step instructions and beautiful photographs.
