Product Description

Review

"Some really nice sock patterns, but it's the chapters at the beginning about how to use handpainted yarn that I really love." --KnittingScholar.com Finding the perfect pattern for a skein of hand-dyed yarn can be tricky, but this collection makes it easy with 21 patterns designed to make the most of handpainted yarns. With patterns from new faces alongside top designers like Ann Budd, Veronik Avery and Nancy Bush there is plenty to choose from. The designs use a broad range of techniques to create stunning effects that make the most of the carefully chosen colours in a hand-dyed yarn. From the chevron pattern shown on the cover to a colourwork pattern inspired by a motorcycle shop, there's a great mix of funky and classic patterns. Hand dyed yarns come in a wide rante of styles and colour patterns, so the information at the front of the book is invaluable for anyone who hasn't spent time with a dye-pot themselves. The variegation and pooling which is characteristic of hand-dyed yarns can put some knitters off, so we love that this book not only supplies you with 21 patterns to knit, but in doing so shows you a number of interesting techniques for working with the colour changes in a strongly variegated yarn to create a stunning knit. Even if you prefer to knit your socks in solid colours, the collection is well worth a look as it includes a number of patterns with fascinating and unusual constructions, such as wrapping stitches and invisible horizontal seams, which are useful for all knitters.-Simply Knitting

"Some really nice sock patterns, but it's the chapters at the beginning about how to use handpainted yarn that I really love."  —KnittingScholar.com



"Tons of tips and patterns designed specifically with handpaints in mind so you're sure to get a good result each time."  —About.com Guide to Knitting



"Photos are clear and enticing, with the socks shown in excellent detail. There's a sock for every taste and technique; mosaic, ribbing, lace sts, multidirectional, chevrons, intarsia, Fair Isle."  —YARN: The Australian Magazine for Knitting and More



"Examines the many ways sock knitters can use monotoned, variegated and self-striping handpaints to best advantage."  —Yarn Market News



"The cover photo will make you want to drop what you're doing and knit a pair for yourself. . . . even the most complicated pattern isn’t difficult, because the yarns themselves do so much of the work."  —Knit 'N Style



"5 out of 5 stars. This book has more interesting sock patterns than usually found in a sock book."  —Knitting News


"Sulcoski has put together a collection of patterns that enhances the color and striping effects of your favorite handpainted yarns. Some patterns even incorporate more than one type of yarn."  —Detroit News
