Designs with Skinny Yarn

Knitters will learn what fine yarns are, the many advantages of knitting with them, plus tips and techniques to make the knitting process even more enjoyable. Perfect for all skill levels, the projects in this guidebook show that garments knitted with thin yarns not only fit more precisely, but are more flattering to the figure and feel better against the skin.

Crafters will find stylish and contemporary patterns, including a drapy silk top, a supple zippered cable hoodie, a bamboo skirt with stunning drape, a bohus-inspired pullover, a wrap dress, a ruffled scarf, and much more.

More Than 30 Basic and Lingerie - Inspired Designs

"Underwear has come out. Once kept demurely concealed, lingerie now pervades every fashion category, inspiring designs for day looks, loungewear, evening clothes, and accessories. Slips have become dresses unto themselves. Bra straps are meant to peek out from under tank tops. Camisoles are worn on their own or as layers over or under other clothes. Now, with 'Knitting Lingerie Style', designer Joan McGowan-Michael interprets this undeniable fashion trend for the knitter and, along the way, shares fascinating stories about lingerie history. Did you know that it was airplane magnate Howard Huges who masterminded the underwire bra?"--Page 2 of cover.

25 Knitting patterns and tales from around the world 

Shawls are currently making a huge comeback in the fashion world, but many people do not realize that the shawl has been worn for many centuries and in many cultures. This collection of patterns and traditions features shawls from around the world. From the Himalayas to Spain, from Iceland to Japan, and from Mexico to Norway, many of the shawls featured here have been taken from examples of historic knitted shawls. Other designs have been translated into knitwear from patterns for woven or lace shawls. Included are 25 patterns as well as historical and cultural information about shawls that have been used for prayer and mourning, as bridal veils, and as christening garments. Each design is presented with a full-page color photo, written instructions, and charts.

Rita Weiss’s classic, bestselling guide--which sold more than 500,000 copies--has been thoroughly redesigned, completely updated, and made more beautiful and fashionable
than ever before.

Think of this as a new book, not just a mere revision of the original 7-Day Afghans. It’s undergone a complete transformation through the addition of full color, with all the patterns rechecked for accuracy and rewritten in an easy-to-follow form. Almost all the original afghans appear, gorgeous as ever, but remade in fashionable, contemporary yarns and shades. Plus, several entirely original designs have been added to enhance the modernization. One look will have knitters and crocheters pulling out their needles, eager to begin. (A "refresher course” will quickly get rusty crafters up to speed.) Make an exquisite Watercolors blanket with fun-to-do cross stitches; a lacy Ice Crystals afghan; Pink Perfection, an easy crochet design that’s perfect for beginners; and other beautiful patterns. The author lives in San Marcos, CA.
