Knit One Below
by Elise Duvekot

Publisher XRX Books
Edition Paperback

Knit One Below introduces a new and exciting way for knitters to combine colors, weights, fibers and types of yarn into wonderfully flexible fabrics. The technique alternates one simple action, knitting into the stitch one row below the stitch on the needle, with either the basic knit or purl stitch. When worked in alternate rows of two colors or two yarns, columns of color appear on one side of the fabric, and a mysterious integrated mix on the other. A strong group of projects for the entire family spotlights this technique. The shapes are simple, the finishing minimal, and the fabrics versatile. Although many are easy enough for new knitters, several projects go beyond the basic stitch, adding cables, felting for bags, working color in intarsia fashion, and swirling the columns into socks and hats.

Edition Paperback

Who says a knitting project has to be complicated to look fashionable? Simple can be stylish too - and anyone who can do a basic ‘knit and purl’ can make these chic items with no trouble at all. The trick: using quality yarns in beautiful colours and textures. The results will look marvellous… and no one need know that your designer scarf used an easy loose stitch and took just a few hours to create! And there’s lots to choose from: 34 projects that include hats, bags, blankets, shawls, sweaters, and accessories. The attractive photographs show each one in different yarns and colours, and excellent, easy-to-follow instructions teach how to knit on circular needles, make great felted items, and change colours as you work.

Pet Heaven
by Sally Muir

Publisher Quadrille Publishing
Edition Paperback

We all love to dress up for special occasions so why shouldn't our pets join in the fun? At last you can stitch for your bitch, purl for your Persian, lavish your affection and skill on the pet that you love. Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne grew up surrounded by a multitude of animals, from Afghan hounds to mynah birds, through cats, donkeys, hens and hamsters. They were both encouraged to knit from an early age and in Pet Heaven have combined these two popular passions with their witty approach and unique designs. The patterns range from the simple, which can be knitted by the ten-year-old beginner for their new hamster, up to the more challenging, like the wire bird feeder, for the more experienced. From the Puppy Papoose to the Anti-fly Horse Hat, the projects are as practical as they are quirky. Using wool and cotton as well as recycled materials, such as plastic bags and old knitwear, they are both inventive and resourceful. There is no better way to show your devotion to the furry friend in your life, and if you don't happen to own a pet, why not knit yourself one?
