(05/11/08) You know how, when you're following along in a written pattern, your eye wanders all over the place and you lose precious knitting time trying to figure out where you left off reading? Well, get these handy dealies and you won't have that problem any more. Each set of Pattern Tamers includes a shorty, a medium-length and a longy. But what are they? They're ribbon-covered magnetic strips. They go where you want them on your pattern and they stay put. Put the long one vertically beside the column you're reading. Use one of the shorter ones to direct your eye to the paragraph you're knitting from. Or put whatever length suits on the chart you're following.See less

(05/11/08) Heirloom Knitting is a new Pattern and Workbook on the craft of Shetland Lace Knitting. Knitting is a personal thing. Every knitter has a different tension, style and preference, but common to all who knit for pleasure is the satisfaction taken in a beautiful hand-knitted piece. Few things represent this more than Shetland lace knitting, widely regarded as one of the best forms of the craft. Once mastered, the hum-drum pick up and put down sessions of knitting, together with the careful selection and working of patterns, have an almost miraculous ending; never fully apparent until the knitting is completely finished by a process called dressing. Then comes the reward. The first, proper view of the gossamer-like structure of geometric lacy design gives such a sense of achievement, it makes Shetland lace knitting almost addictive. Deservedly, the finest examples of Shetland lace are in museums, and pieces like the Ring Shawls, rightly command prices in hundreds of pounds, a reflection of...See less

(05/11/08) From casual to formal, the kimono shape has endured for centuries as an internationally recognized icon of Japanese life and culture. With 18 original designs, each a knitted interpretation of a traditional kimono style, this handbook makes knitting homemade kimonos deceptively easy. Projects are based on rectangular forms that require very little shaping, and are ideal first-garment projects for knitters wanting to venture beyond scarves. Clever details in stitch patterns and edgings, such as the use of silk, linen, and bamboo yarns, add sophistication and elegance to even the simplest designs. The flattering drape and luxurious style of the kimono will appeal to veteran and beginning knitters alike.See less

(05/11/08) This collection of patterns for shawls and scarves originally published over the last 15 years in Knitter's Magazine lives up to the reputation of XRX Books for publishing visually stunning "coffee-table" books that spend more time being read and used than sitting on the coffee table. For a public library, a compilation of this sort has many advantages. It is more sturdy than the original magazine, it brings together designs by theme, and it corrects errors that might have been present in the original patterns. Contributors include a "who's who" of knitwear designers, among them Elizabeth Zimmermann, Meg Swansen, Eugene Beugler, Joan Schrouder, and Priscilla Gibson-Roberts. Most patterns include both charted and written directions as well as full-color photos. Generic yarn recommendations make this collection one that will be used for many years. Highly recommended for public libraries and textile collections. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.See less

(05/11/08) These knitted and crocheted fashion accessories and decorative accents for the home vary in their required levels of skill, but all can be completed quickly and require only one skein of yarn. The stitch patterns and clear instructions make it easy for even procrastinators and the less-than-diligent to create a ruffled cravat, a drawstring bag, a tank top, cozy scarves, arm and leg warmers, lace wristlets, fingerless gloves, a mohair pillow, and even a sweater for a baby. Several projects do not require any new yarn at all—instead projects such as the Felted Striped Tote or the Labyrinth Circle Rug are designed using up a skein's worth of leftovers from other projects. A guide to terms and techniques, a resource directory, and a bibliography are also included.See less

(05/11/08) In 2006, Judith Durant delighted knitters everywhere with her collection One-Skein Wonders: 101 Yarn Shop Favorites. At last, knitters had a rich array of fun, festive patterns for all those yarn "orphans"— single skeins purchased on impulse or left over from long-finished projects. With knitters clamoring for even more of these imaginative patterns, Durant has tapped into a wide circle of knitwear designers across the country to compile a totally fresh collection of enchanting projects. Once again, the excitement of small-scale possibility will attract knitters of all skill levels. Like its predecessor, 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders offers patterns for small projects that can be completed with a single skein of yarn. These designer projects range from the adorable to the elegant. The book includes plenty of patterns for those never-can-have-enough items: hats, scarves, bags, and shawls. It also highlights the unexpected: a useful knitted notebook cover, a fun-to-wear mitered square...See less

(05/11/08) Perhaps more outspoken than plain, Righetti flavors her advice with starchy humor, especially when commenting on impractical details in designs (``the dumb baby sweater''; ``stupid bonnet'') or misleading pictures and sloppy instructions on patterns. Illustrated by graphic drawings and photos, the chapters here contain directions for a variety of knitting projects. There are notes on varying the basic knitting stitch, correcting slip-ups, conquering ``the bastard buttonhole'' and other problems that can plague the veteran crafter as well as the neophyte. Righetti is well known as a teacher of knitting, author of Universal Yarn Finder and contributor to craft magazines, including Knitters. She rounds out this text with a comprehensive glossary.
