Knitting: Techniques and Projects (A Sunset Book)

With the techniques you'll learn, and with a little inspiration, you can progress from your present level (even if you're a beginner) to designing your own creations and even invention of your own stitches. Projects and techniques work together to give the knitter a sound basis for exploring the world of knitting. Look especially at the sections called "Knit wit," which offer pearls of knitting wisdom gathered from professional knitters to make your efforts go more smoothly. Within the 77 pages are all techniques necessary to make any basic knitted garment and to complete any of the suggested projects. You can choose from among our collection of 35 original designs with step-by-step instructions. Whether you're a man or a woman, you'll find knitting a soothing craft. Work according to your own pace. If you're a beginner, zero in on projects rated for you. If you're an advanced knitter, you'll have fun elaborating on intermediate projects or discovering the unusual designs rated for highly skilled and experienced knitters. And if you're in between beginner and advanced, you'll find much to pique your enthusiasm and extend your skills. This Sunset knitting book is for all skill levels -- and both sexes.
