Ethnic
Socks & Stockings: A Compendium of Eastern Design & Technique — The
section on knitting intarsia IN THE ROUND (with lots of color photos)
is worth the cost of the book by itself. Includes in-depth cast on
techniques, analysis of knitting styles, details on how to spin yarn
that will wear well and maintain its shape, plus great information
on designing with multiple colors.
Vogue
Knitting Magazine — Through
the years, what has kept Vogue Knitting a magazine of substance, and a MUST HAVE
for knitters, has been the articles and workshops featured alongside the designs.
Above is a playful bohemian vest I made from one of the Vogue Knitting patterns.
Lovely details!
