CROWN The Knit Stitch Pattern Handbook: An Essential Collection of 300 Designer Stitches and Techniques

irgendwie schon viel bekanntes, aber hier finde ich doch auch vieles was mir so noch nicht aufgefallen ist. Sehr hübsche Fotos. Eine Mustersammlung zu viel kann man gar nicht haben, wenn sie o gut gemacht ist wie diese.

Its a very good collection of stitch patterns with very clear charts and photos and descriptions.It shows the pattern on both right and wrong side,so you know if its reversible,and where you are going wrong.The author's taste is good,as all the stitches are superb,you are actually spoilt for choice.She also gives diagrammatical explanations of all the knitting techniques in the end.The book is priced fair,and the content is brilliant,so no reason to turn this one down.

Dalle textures più semplici al lace più raffinato, passando per insoliti motivi a trecce. Un must per chi ama progettare i propri capi.

Beginning her career as a freelance knitter, Melissa Leapman has designed her own collection of wonderful stitch patterns. Yes, there are old favorites here, but the depth of new stitch techniques and ideas of how to work them into patterns has really helped to round out my large, huge, library of stitch encyclopedias. While some lace is covered, it is not a huge book of lace designs. The world has many. They are needed, but I don't make much lace. If you want reverse stockinette, cables, texture and strong fabrication, this is a great book. All patterns are charted, as well as written and the colors tabbing the section make sense. There is little on, "how to do basic stitches," taking up page space. While that information is important, I find the redundancy of the simple knit and purl to be a tree-wasting effort to round out some books, which would be better off without them. If you cannot knit, nor purl, perhaps this is not the book to start with. Which is fine! It's part of the journey of knitting. There is no end to this road of interest and there should not be, Texture, working patterns into garments and general beauty with color photographs, that are not over-the-top, but show the finished pattern in good light, are the hallmarks of this book. If you knit can you exist without it? Well, of course. If you want to get a book with stitches I've not found elsewhere, then this is a must own. So much so, that after buying the edition for my Kindle, I got the book. I can't leave an entire sticky notepad's worth of paper in my Kindle. I can in the book and that's what I've done to this book. It sits in my pile in my studio space, within reach at all times. Right next to my Barbara Walker books and Vogue stitch dictionaries. I use it daily and make up swatches often, just to get a feel for them and to learn. Anyone who wants more will find this book a great resource. This is all my own thoughts. I am not being solicited in any way and believe me, I can slam with the best of them. Enjoy and get out the highlighter and notes. You're going to need them.

One of the best knitting stitch books I have used. I return to it again and again. Easy instructions with clear, beautiful photos of the pattern stitches.
