The Nordic Knitting Primer, A Step-by-Step guide to Scandinavian Colorwork

The Nordic Knitting Primer, A Step-by-Step guide to Scandinavian Colorwork, Kristin Drysdale

This detailed primer is for knitters who would like to delve deeper into the excitement of knitting with two colors. There are many pages with large, clear photos covering left- and right-hand knitting for both knit and purl (along with the mnemonics manyof us learned as new knitters), how to hold a color in each hand, plus trapping over long carries (with L and R hand), duplicate stitch, embroidery on a finished item. All the techniques are put to use through a series of charming designs for mitts, cowls, mittens, many different hats, five pullovers for adults and children, several slippers, and two pillows. I may even learn how to purl back in color pattern! Softcover, $23.99.
