Enchanted Knitting: Charted Motifs for Hand and Machine Knitting
Like the authors' previous volumes (The Prolific Knitting Machine, Interweave, 1990, and The Tap-Dancing Lizard, Interweave, 1992), this is an excellent source for graphed design motifs adapted from many cultures worldwide. This volume includes more than 200 charts and a gallery of sample garments demonstrating how motifs can be combined effectively. The "project" section of the book includes detailed instructions for knitting unique and colorful African-style caps, knee socks, drawstring bags, and cloaks. If your library collects in the area of machine knitting and you don't already own the authors' earlier works, pick those titles up, along with this one, while they are still in print.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
