When you think about vintage afghans the granny probably is the
first afghan that comes to mind and then the classic ripple. In
this book I have put a new twist on these two vintage afghan
styles. The four afghans in this book are my interpretation of
these classic designs. The afghan patterns in this book are
suitable for beginners but you should already know some basic
crochet stitches and terminology before trying these afghans. The
Lacy Ripple afghan is an easy V-Stitch pattern that is quick to
make with a size K hook. The afghan looks complicated but it's
really a very simple pattern. A photo tutorial is included for
beginners. Granny Waves is crocheted in the classic granny style
shell pattern. This pattern is a very easy scrap afghan made all in
one piece so there isn't any sewing together. Once you learn the
pattern it's a great afghan to crochet while watching TV not to
mention using up those scrap yarns. I've included lots of photos
for beginners. Hexagon Granny Ripple combines the granny and ripple
patterns together into a kaleidoscope of beautiful color. The easy
hexagon granny's are first crocheted then they are sewn together to
form rows. A granny style ripple is then crocheted to either side
of the hexagon strips. Geometric Granny Stripe is a very simple
afghan to crochet. This afghan is crocheted in colorful strips and
then a border is added. The strips are then sewn together and a
final border is crocheted around the entire afghan. This pattern is
great for using up small amounts of scrap yarns.

different styles and each with 2 different stitches as shown on

From booties and scarves to art and fashion, "The Culture of
Knitting" addresses knitting since 1970. Investigating knitting as
art, craft, design, fashion, performance and as an aspect of the
everyday, the text uncovers the cultural significance of knitting.
Drawing on a variety of sources, including interviews with knitters
from different disciplines as well as amateurs, the text breaks
down hierarchical boundaries and stereotypical assumptions that
have hitherto negated the academic study of knitting, and it
highlights the diversity and complexity of knitting in all its
guises. "The Culture of Knitting" investigates not merely why
knitting is so popular now, but the reasons why knitting has such
longevity. By assessing the literature of knitting, manuals,
patterns, social and regional histories, alongside testimonial
discussions with artists, designers, craftspeople and amateurs, it
offers new ways of seeing, new methods of critiquing knitting,
without the constraints of disciplinary boundaries in the hope of
creating an environment in which knitting can be valued, recognized
and discussed.
