The upsurge in knitting as a pastime has been accompanied by a great range of yarns, equipment, and patterns. Here, British designer Chapman selects a relatively new kind of yarn--ribbon--to showcase her talents and the possibilities. Although many experienced stitchers might grumble that the 28-item collection features simple classic styles, it's the care and detail of instructions that differentiate this from all other pattern books. Who else, for instance, stresses not only the importance of knitting to gauge but also pictorially shows the differences between too-loose, too-tight, and just-right gauge--and the remedies? Or inserts, in the appropriate pattern, instructions for fashioning the a-bit-unusual, such as how to change yarns, knit bobbles, and loop stitches, among others? Color photographs are plentiful; step-by-step details, more than sufficient. An almost-sure "best-borrowed" book. Barbara Jacobs
