Synopsis

Created by an internationally recognised authority on knitting design and instruction, this treasury presents charted designs for colour knitting drawn from a wide range of source material. The collection is organised into four parts: traditional patterns from Europe, Russia and South America; adaptations inspired by textiles and other art, including Japanese porcelain and Celtic metalwork; Starmore’s own geometric and nature-inspired originals; and practical guidance on incorporating motifs into original designs.

Alongside instructions on introducing colour into your work, the book includes colour photographs of knitted swatches made specifically for this edition. The charts are suitable for both beginning and advanced colour knitters, and can also be adapted for other crafts such as weaving and embroidery.
