Synopsis
One of the reasons knitting and colorwork master Melissa Leapman first learned to knit was her wish to make one special project--a sweater using Fair Isle technique. Now, for the first time, she brings her passion for advanced color knitting to knitters who want to knit with any and every color of yarn they can wrap around their needles. Conquer classic stranded knitting, "draw" images in yarn using intarsia, and make two projects in one with reversible double knitting. Leapman's clear instruction proves that knitting with multiple colors may appear more complex, but it doesn't have to be difficult. She includes the quickest, easiest, and most intuitive methods for each technique, using knowledge honed over years of color knitting workshops with knitters from across the country. Once you've learned the basics, practice your new skills by creating projects for yourself, your friends, and everyone on your gift list. Each chapter includes a handful of sample projects to get you started, a Designer Workshop that teaches you important concepts in every designer's toolbox, and a pattern treasury of unique patterns to apply to projects of your own creation--more than 50 patterns and 12 projects in all. Throughout, Leapman's helpful collection of how-tos, diagrams, tips, and hints (including a refresher course in color theory to help you choose the perfect color combinations) makes Mastering Color Knitting the book you'll turn to for information and inspiration time and time again.

    Seller very easy to work with. Since eBay uses stock photos the book I received was an older edition than the one pictured. Seller was very easy to work with in returning the book. I would buy from seller again.

  • More about designing and projects

    This book gives brief overviews on stranded knitting, intarsia and double knitting but does not go into depth. For example, there are 17 pages on stranded knitting. If you want to learn about technique, get her earlier book. If you want a quick refresher and to learn about design and try out color work projects, then get this one. Melissa includes 16 pages of sample 2 color stranded charts that can be used to add pizzazz to a plain sweater with simple bands or lots and lots of bands and I don’t recall seeing any that would require catching floats in most yarn weights. For each of the techniques (stranded, intarsia, double knitting) she includes a section reviewing the technique, how to design with the technique, and projects featuring that technique. The technique review sections would ...

  • Great buy

    My knitting book library is large, and I think seriously before purchasing anymore books and/or patterns. I am so glad I found the deal on this book! The book I received is like a brand new book, no sign of any wear or damage. The content is very well written. On a sleepless night, I started reading from the beginning and found some little nuggets of useful info I had forgotten. If you are debating the purchase of the same book, I recommend getting it.

    Just what I was looking for as I wanted to learn to do double sided knitting. Very good book for learning to do color knitting. There are 12 projects and 3 different ways to do color knitting. Over 200 stitch pattern grafts.
