Críticas:

November 2014 Whichever direction you want to go in, this new book explodes traditional knitting patterns and comes up with something different. If you love colour knitting and exploring potential, this is the book for you. You can knit in strips and modules, creative short rows, crazy quilt style or freeform. Myra shows you how to make a life-size template that you can use for structure or the freedom to create your own knitting journeys. My only advice would be not to mix too many colours and patterns. I love the pastel version of Merging Lanes and Sunset Symphony was a big hit with me. It's an interesting book to expand your knitting. * Karen Platt Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts *

Reseña del editor:

Freeing knitters with all levels of experience to become involved in the creative process and still make a garment that is knit-to-fit, this template-based approach is not math-dependent and works for people whether they prefer a structured or more freeform process. Knit in New Directions introduces techniques that encourage knitters to just have fun: strip knitting, creative short rows, patchwork, crazy quilt, and free-form knitting. It then explains the other essential tool-full-scale templates. Knitters learn to use the templates in the book and how to make one to their own measurements. Garment designs support each technique and template with two options. The Guided Tour provides full instructions for specific sizes as well as measure-as-you go versions. In the Alternative Routes, the template functions like a coloring book that allows the knitter to create completely new designs. Practical advice for how to achieve the best fit and finish is included with each design: blocking, a special stitch for seaming, and edge and embellishment options.
