Together or Separate: Knitting the New Twinset
The New in that subtitle is no joke: McCauley's 10 twinsets--and one triple set--redefine the term and redouble the versatility of this venerable fashion conceit. A striped tee with coordinating cowl counts as a twinset. So do a mock-pleat ribbed top and skirt, a collared cardigan and matching cabled socks, and a dress-or-pullover with wrist warmers that give a layered cuff effect. Then there's that triple set, which uses a long-sleeved cabled turtleneck as the base; a short-sleeved vest with corresponding cables on the side panels for piece two; and, a literal crowner: a headband that picks up the main cables below. --Yarn Market News, Cheryl KrementzWith this exciting new collection Ann takes the classic twinset beyond the standard shell-and-cardigan combination. Explore unique pairings such as a turtleneck and headband, a cable cardigan and skirt, or a cardigan and socks--the pieces can be worn alone or together. The book features timeless designs in smooth yarns, solid colors, and rich textures. It is ideal for intermediate and experienced knitters, with some projects for beginners. --Fons & Porter's Love of Knitting magazine
