Quilt making is very popular, but knitted quilt patterns are hard
to come by. This facsimile edition of Tessa Lorant's Knitted Quilts
& Flounces, originally published in 1982, is a collection of
outstanding traditional knitting patterns. It revives 24 genuine
'white knitting' designs, to charm and fascinate both the beginner
and the more advanced knitter, and enable them to use their own
special skills to create fantastic knitted quilts which could
easily become heirlooms. Ways of assembling and dressing the pieces
are discussed, and the carefully re-knitted patterns are fully
illustrated in black and white in the book. There are 13 quilt and
11 flounce designs, and the average time taken to knit each pattern
piece or repeat is given. The patterns are presented in readable,
easy-to-follow form. Methods of assembly are discussed, and easy
ways of 'turning the corner' when bordering the completed quilt
with a flounce are also given.

Featuring 10 knitted tea cosy patterns by London based designer
Monica Russel.
So many knitters-even seasoned ones-see colorwork as something
complex and beyond their abilities. I was quite intimidated by the
idea of stranding, and books that I looked at on the technique did
not allay my fears. My book shows all knitters that stranded
knitting is far easier than they might think, and that even very
complicated-looking designs are simple to knit. My illustrations
and easy-to-follow explanations give even the most hesitant
knitters the confidence to create beautiful garments and
accessories. By using the knit stitch alone (because I design in
the round, my patterns for the most part do not require purling),
even the most inexperienced knitters can create pieces that
comprise intricate colowork ideas. Stranded knitting is deceptively
easy. Wrapped in Color offers a fresh and welcome approach to
stranded knitting. It is a total departure from traditional
stranding style. With a choice collection of my new-fashioned
colorwork-in-the-round patterns, accompanied by many attractive
photos, there is something in this book that will appeal to young
knitters, as well as those who are young at heart. I have replaced
the traditional ideas of what colorwork is with new designs that
have never been done before. While any text included is
informative, it is also light, interesting, casual and
entertaining. The book is long on visuals, tutorials and charts and
short on written text. Wrapped in Colors covers all that color can
accomplish in a knitted piece. Color can convey mood. Color can be
lace. Color can be cables. In short, color can be anything, and
anyone and knit it.
