More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Growing up in Cape Breton, on Canada's Atlantic coast, knitwear designer Robin Melanson learned early on the importance of gloves and mittens in a harsh winter climate. Now this self-described "mitten and glove aficionado" shares her enthusiasm for these ordinary items by presenting 28 extraordinary ways to make them for year-round style.
Featuring gloves, mittens, arm warmers, mitts, and fingerless gloves, this is the second book in a new SCT Craft series that introduces innovative approaches to creating popular knitted items. "Knitting New Mittens and Gloves" combines traditional and untraditional techniques--as well as influences as far-flung as Gothic architecture, Estonian lace, and Wagnerian opera--in a winning collection of patterns for adults and children. From wool mittens filled with unspun fleece and arm warmers with leather laces, to cotton-mesh fingerless gloves and silk-beaded mitts to be worn as adornments, each design has an unexpected twist.
Because they are small, quick to make, and don't require a lot of yarn, mittens and gloves are perfect projects for knitting throughout the year, and they also offer an ideal opportunity for beginning and more seasoned knitters to experiment with new techniques, yarns, and styles. With its fresh, original sensibility, "Knitting New Mittens and Gloves" will captivate knitters of every level.

Format:Paperback
I've bought lots of books of knitting patterns but this is the only one which is packed full of projects I want to knit. I've knitted 4 items from the book and it only arrived a fortnight ago! All of the patterns require between 1 and 3 balls of yarn (many only 1 ball) and are quick and fun to knit. There is a real variety of techniques and some unusual patterns. An excellent little book!

This is a great book. My local librarian originally suggested it to me and it was so good, I decided to buy a copy for myself. It's full of fantastic patterns in lots of different weights, styles and colours. I really enjoy it and if you live in a place, like I do, where mittens are part of your essential winter wardrobe, then this book is for you.

A super book packed with ideas. I want to knit them all. Very varied designs and a variety of skill levels. Not a beginners how to do it book. In projects this size you can challenge yourself and succeed.

interesting but......
Its always useful to have pattern books for accessories, gloves are a favourite of mine as they are quick to knit and use less wool than jumpers etc. Read more

Gloves
Another BRILL book. Some of these gloves are really cool. I can't wait to knit these for my family and friends.

Save your money
This book is disappointing. I particularly dislike the pointy-handed mitts and the layered idea of wearing more than one pair of gloves at a time. Save your money.

Fair-ly disappointing!
I've taken up knitting to make things which can't be bought in shops. There are enough ready-made sweaters and gloves out there that hand-knitted items need to really stand out in... Read more

Terrific book
This is a gorgeous, innovative little book that I will return to again and again. The patterns are clear and easy to understand with inspiring photos throughout. An absolute gem.
