Product Description

From Library Journal

This collection of patterns for shawls and scarves originally published over the last 15 years in Knitter's Magazine lives up to the reputation of XRX Books for publishing visually stunning "coffee-table" books that spend more time being read and used than sitting on the coffee table. For a public library, a compilation of this sort has many advantages. It is more sturdy than the original magazine, it brings together designs by theme, and it corrects errors that might have been present in the original patterns. Contributors include a "who's who" of knitwear designers, among them Elizabeth Zimmermann, Meg Swansen, Eugene Beugler, Joan Schrouder, and Priscilla Gibson-Roberts. Most patterns include both charted and written directions as well as full-color photos. Generic yarn recommendations make this collection one that will be used for many years. Highly recommended for public libraries and textile collections.

Review

"Subtitles 'The Best of Knitter's Magazine - from Traditional to Trendy...with Easy to Follow Instructions', this large format, 105 page book contains some gorgeous shawls and scarves. Contemporary knitting at its best, I would recommend this book to any knitter. What is better on a warm summer's day than to protect yourself from a sudden drop in temperature with a knitted shawl. Lace, woven look, garter stitch - a variety of patterns and yarns are included to suit all skills, tastes and addicts of shawl knitting. There are several I want to knit right away. Clear instructions and great photography combine to make this best of knitter's magazine a best seller." KarenPlatt.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites, Feb 2 2004

By	A. Reader (Boise, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews

I originally checked this book out from the local library and found that I would have to own my own copy. There are a few patterns that would be suitable for beginners, but I would definitely pay attention to the skill level rating on each pattern. My only complaint would be that the terms "laceweight" and "fingering" seem to have been used without discretion. While lace knitting is generally very forgiving in terms of gauge, it is frustrating to know that the "laceweight" yarn you purchased is not even close to the "laceweight" yarn that was used in the pattern. Patterns are included for round, triangular, faroese, shetland, and rectangular shawls. The patterns include both written instructions as well as charts to accommodate any preference. Color pictures are provided for each pattern, as well as each variation of pattern. Yarns range from mohair to cotton, and from sport weight to laceweight. A 4-page "Knitter's School" in the back of the book provides instructions for standard techniques, as well as some more advanced techniques specific to circular knitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars *, Dec 25 2001

By	"shyfox777" (Portland OR) - See all my reviews

Beautiful designs but definitely not for beginners. It can be intimidating if you're new to lace but it's worth the effort. I'd consider myself almost an expert and there are enough patterns in here to satisfy the urge for simple designs and the challenge of something more complex.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have used this book over and over, May 2 2001

By	M. Pauley "devynethang" (Kenton, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I absolutely love this book! Eugen Beugler's "Lace Dream" Stole was worth buying the entire book alone. I have borrowed a few of the lace patterns to use in designing some of my own shawls, scarves, etc. This is also where I first heard of author, Myrna Stahman, whom I have met on line and consider a good friend. This book is a valuable resource to me. I highly recomend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good designs, but...
shawls still seem to look old-fashioned, even when relatively younger models are wearing them. Or maybe it's because shawls look good on relatively few of us? I don't know. Read more
