Here is an opportunity to break away from the need for specific patterns, and begin designing items for yourself using simple geometric shapes and your own imagination. Modular knitting allows you to look at the basic shapes of garments and other items so that they can be broken down into modules. With these simple modular techniques for making wonderful garments and accessories, you will be able to make use of your scraps and add small quantities of exotic yarns to good effect. This technique will also allow you to use a mixture of colors, variations of a single color, or even textures, within a single item. The skills require basic knitting abilities and this book will take you through the steps for making triangles, and four sided shapes such as squares, rectangles, and octagons. These basic shapes can be fitted together to resemble a quilt block. From there, your imagination can take over. The book covers planning a design using simple mathematics, the tools of the trade, and ideas for embellishments. You will also find eight easy-to-follow patterns for yourself or for gifts. Hardcover. 128 pages. Barrons Educational Series, Inc., 2006.
