Produktbeschreibung

From the editor of the bestselling One-Skein Wonders series: "the ultimate reference on shaping . . . An important addition to every knitting bag" (Margaret Radcliffe, author of The Knowledgeable Knitter). The secret to knitting great-fitting hats and shaping elegant sleeves lies in using the right increase or decrease techniques. Approachable and insightful, Judith Durant provides clear instructions and step-by-step photographs that showcase swatches for each technique. From working shaped lace to adjusting necklines, you'll soon have a go-to strategy for successfully tackling knitting challenges of all shapes and sizes. "I adore technique books that help me understand the construction of my stitches. Judith demystifies increases and decreases, helping make us better, more educated knitters." -Laura Nelkin, author of Knockout Knits "Oh my woolly goodness, if you like to experiment with your knitting instead of just following instructions, go get this right now. I have more to say, but really, this is a nifty book, and I suspect you're going want it on your shelf . . . A marvelously thorough guide." -Pantsville Press
