As a desirable item of fashion, a cherished gift or a wardrobe
essential, the shawl enjoys enduring popularity among knitters and
non-knitters alike. The most admired of these beautiful accessories
are designed with inspiration drawn from a wide range of themes and
ideas. This creativity is achieved by blending a knitter's
imagination with their knowledge of how to translate a source of
inspiration into an exciting new design. A Knitter's Guide to Shawl
Design will inspire knitters of all levels to personalize their
knitting and create original shawl designs. Author Emma Vining
describes her own design processes, encouraging readers to explore
and experiment with shawl shapes and stitch patterns. Beautifully
illustrated with photographs, sketches and explanatory diagrams,
this book explores tradition and innovation in shawl design. It
demonstrates the effects of yarn, knitting techniques and finishing
choices on the end design and considers the framing effect of edges
and borders and how to plan these into your project. The geometry
of the shawl shape is examined - there are individual chapters on
squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, semi-circles and
crescents. Finally, the design process is illustrated in full over
five detailed case studies, each culminating in a full shawl
pattern by built environments.
