About this title

From Booklist:

Her first knitted sweater having earned her a Brownie badge, Scottish-born Ham debuts with a charming book intended for novices as well as the jaded amateur. The emphasis here is on make-it-your-own, with basic shapes and variations explained in detail. The cardigans and jackets chapter, for instance, includes ideas for turning a short sweater into a coat or embellishing pockets by different placement of buttons, stitches, beads, and tassels. Each pattern features drawn schematics and a broad enough range of materials to allow customization. She winds up by focusing on adornment and showing a variety of ways to decorate a purchased knit or repair a much-loved sweater. Barbara Jacobs
