Color Knitting with Confidence: Unlock the Secrets of Fair Isla, Intarsia, and More with 30 Vibrant Colorwork Techniques

For anyone who's curious about colorwork knitting but feels daunted by the task, this approachable little book provides a useful introduction to a wide range of colorwork techniques and projects. Le (500 Fun Little Toys) begins her book with an "All About Color" chapter, offering a brief and useful introduction to important color concepts, terms, and combinations. Further chapters focus on specific colorwork techniques and corresponding projects. The book moves from basic colorwork techniques like striping and slip-stitch to advanced techniques like stranded and double knitting. Although there are larger projects like a man's vest and a woman's sweater, most of the projects in this collection are small, portable accessories and housewares, including darling intarsia baby mitts, double-knit coasters, fun leg warmers, a scarf with pockets, even a map of the world. The projects are user-friendly and well-designed for knitters both new to and familiar with colorwork. This handy collection is a great way to knit a bit of color into the day. (Nov.)
