Knitting Outside the Swatch

Description

Explore a new approach to knitting! Knitting Outside the Swatch is an exploration of non-traditional construction techniques for creating and joining flowers, stars, and various geometric shapes to create inventive and dimensional fabrics.

Kristin Omdahl presents a library of forty original and innovative stitch motifs and shows how to join one or more motifs to create trims or whole fabrics. In ten projects, which include shawls, cowls, scarves, and sweaters, Kristin explains how to incorporate motifs into the body of a garment, how to interchange various motifs, and how to decorate or embellish knitwear by using motifs as edgings, bands, cuffs, and more. Think outside the box with this must-have knitting book!
