Learn how to make fun and colorful knits for everyone in the family and customize each item with a motif that best suits them. Over 50 colorful motifs, including flowers, animals, birds, letters, and nursery themes are detailed with step-by-step photographs and diagrams. Learn how to knit your very own unique picture knits, from color changes through stitch changes. There are also 10 complete projects to make for the family and the home -- and every one can be customized! Make your own tote bag and personalize it with a butterfly or roses, or knit up a luxurious cushion with an exotic, embroidered and sequined elephant. The book begins with a useful, full-color motif index. Find a pirate ship on p. 119, a cute mouse on p. 110, or the alphabet on p. 120. The Knitting Know-how section refreshes your memory on the basic knitting moves with color photos of casting on, assembly techniques, and finishing touches. Perhaps you would like to trim some projects with tassels and fringes. In each project, a motif gallery shows which motifs may be easily substituted for that featured. Essential tools and techniques, including knitting from charts and adding embroidery or texture, are covered with clear instructions and photos. Learn too how to add a name or slogan, and how to draw a chart for a design of your own. Create your own one-of-a-kind garments and accessories! Softcover. 128 pages. KP Books, 2005.
