Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sharon Turner, author of Teach Yourself VISUALLY Knitting, returns with a useful follow-up book that teaches readers how to modify existing patterns and design their own knitted items. “ Knitting it your way” is the focus of Stitch ‘ N Bitch Nation, the second book in that hugely successful series, as well as of classics like Knitting without Tears and A Knitter’ s Handy Book of Patterns. The latter two titles are built on the premise that knitters want basic instructions for constructing hats, sweaters, and other items, but will want to make them their own. Stylish patterns are readily available today, but knitters have many reasons for not wanting to follow a pattern to the letter: for example, substituting a different yarn, changing a neckline or sleeve length, or adding cables, stripes, beads, or other embellishments to jazz up the design. This book will give knitters all the tools they need to create one-of-a-kind items that express their personal style.
Synopsis:
There are lots of stylish knitting patterns out there, but sometimes you want to do your own thing. Maybe you've found a yarn that would make a beautiful hat, and all you need are basic directions for shaping. Or maybe you've had your eye on a cute sweater in a store window and know that you can make a better version yourself--if you could only figure out the measurements. This handy guide demystifies all that knitting math and shows you how to knit custom-fitted, one-of-a-kind fashions that express your style. Master patterns for hats, sweaters, scarves, shawls, bags, mittens, vests, and socks lay out the basic construction for each item in a range of sizes; you choose the yarn and decide which modifications and customizations you want to make.
Precise master patterns show you all the steps involved in constructing handknits Master patterns give instructions for multiple sizes and gauges A number of shaping, edgings, and stitch patterns accompany each master pattern Helpful tips provide additional guidance Tables take the work out of knitting math Step-by-step instructions accompany each photo Color photos, illustrations, and diagrams demonstrate important concepts
Synopsis:
A book that takes knitters step by step to the next level
According to the Craft Yarn Council of America, more than one-third of American women know how to knit or crochet. This book shows knitters how to create custom-fitted, one-of-a-kind items that express their personal style. It starts with basic designs and patterns for hats, sweaters, mittens, and other popular items and walks readers through making modifications. Topics include working with gauge, modifying sleeves and necklines, changing yarns or stitch patterns, and adding cables, stripes, beads, or other embellishments to jazz up the design.
Sharon Turner (Brooklyn, NY), author of Teach Yourself VISUALLY Knitting (0-7645-9640-3) and Monkeysuits (1-56158-493-2), designs some of the most vibrant and brilliantly colored children’ s knitwear available today. She sells her patterns and kits through yarn stores and online at Monkeysuits.com.

I'm asking My Wonderful Husband to get this for me for Christmas!
Got it from our Library, and it has very clear and helpful photos, tips, patterns and much more.....
Wasn't able to learn to knit from books or videos, so don't know whether this book would have actually been helpful in terms of just starting to knit. After learning at a nearby church, though, I can definitely make progress on my own now using this guide.
