Synopsis

Put the fun back into knitting and make original clothing and accessories from simple geometric shapes. Forget about complicated increases and decreases; forget about poring over pattern books; with knowledge of just a few basic stitches you can effortlessley create sweaters, bags, hats, cushions, socks, scarves and ponchos.
Step-by-step photographs demonstrate the foolproof way to knit two-dimensional shapes, and methods of joining them to form fantastic three-dimensional garments.
Clear instructions and diagrams explain each stage of the process, from measuring and calculating yarn requirements to combining colour, shape and texture.
Includes ten inspirational projects with suggested variations and alternative palettes, and advice on how to create your own designs. Now you can carry on with your knitting anywhere, without having to drag a whole bulky garment along with you.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer are both mathematics teachers with an unconventional approach to the subject. Steve also trained to teach art. Pat is a fibre artist and has been a knitter almost all her life. They use fabric and fibre in many teaching situations with groups as diverse as university professors, Women's Institute groups, and children of all ages. Around 1990 they became addicted to modular knitting and, although they wander into other fields occasionally, most of their knitting has been modular ever since.
