While I am probably not going to MAKE all the projects in this book (I don't have use for a knitted window screen), I DO love them all! This book encourages a new view of knitting design and gives you the freedom to use whatever you want for whatever you want to knit. Should you decide to follow the instructions: they are clearly written and the items actually FIT! Gorgeous photography. Includes a small workbook (which you can do without, but, hey, it's cute) ( ) Imaginative patterns, some of which are kind of goofy (paper crowns? Not sure I'd wear that out of the house...) and some of which are really slick (a felted bulletin board!). Filled with exercises that are supposed to help you break free of your knitting conventions. Overall, it's beautifully photographed and has a few good ideas. I'm glad I bought it, but I wouldn't recommend it as an essential. I haven't made anything from this yet, because I have hit a knitting slump more based on never being home or sitting still long enough to knit, that a lack of knit-love. I got it because it is gorgeous, the patterns and concepts for inspiration were interesting, and I love the corset pattern. Not having knitted from it, I can't judge the efficacy of the pattern writing. Having read it, I can say that if you want to think beyond the pattern, or beyond the traditional uses of knitted objects, or want to inspire yourself with mental exercises, this is a great book. It even comes with a little notebook for you to make your notes and observations. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
AlterKnits is a collection of nearly 30 projects, each one introducing an alternative way of thinking about the construction and application of knitting. For example, some projects call for unusual materials (such as bracelets and necklaces knitted with leather and silver). Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
