Product Description:

Rare book

Review:

Feb 06 ...a project book for knitters of all skill levels. Ranging from casual ponchos that are thrown over the head and worn with jeans to elegant wraps and stoles for evenings out. There are both classic and contemporary designs in the 21 projects. The detailed and fully illustrated instructions include blocking diagrams, so the book is very useful for interpretation by machine knitters. Ideas for creative finishing options are also provided if you'd like a little hand finishing. * Machine Knitting Monthly * No. 109, Sep 05 ...the 'dozen' equates to twenty-two patterns. There are so many variations; the delicate and light, the patterned and plain and the chunky sort for winter (one even has a hood). Most can be made in different sizes, while others are one-size. The techniques section is excellent and includes yarn weight comparisons and a size chart to ensure that you get a good fit. A useful addition to your knitting bookshelf that will ensure you are never short of the right pattern for the right occasion. * SlipKnot *
