Product Description

Simple modular techniques for making wonderful garments and accessories. Put the fun back into knitting and make original clothing and accessories from simple geometric shapes. Forget about complicated increases and decreases; forget about poring over pattern books; with knowledge of just a few basic stitches you can effortlessley create sweaters, bags, hats, cushions, socks, scarves and ponchos. Step-by-step photographs demonstrate the foolproof way to knit two-dimensional shapes, and methods of joining them to form fantastic three-dimensional garments. Clear instructions and diagrams explain each stage of the process, from measuring and calculating yarn requirements to combining colour, shape and texture. It includes ten inspirational projects with suggested variations and alternative palettes, and advice on how to create your own designs. Now you can carry on with your knitting anywhere, without having to drag a whole bulky garment along with you.

About the Author

Pat Ashforth and Steve Plummer are both mathematics teachers with an unconventional approach to the subject. Steve also trained to teach art. Pat is a fibre artist and has been a knitter almost all her life. They use fabric and fibre in many teaching situations with groups as diverse as university professors, Women's Institute groups, and children of all ages. Around 1990 they became addicted to modular knitting and, although they wander into other fields occasionally, most of their knitting has been modular ever since.

4.0 out of 5 stars modular knitting, 21 Jul 2009

By	knitting queen (england) - See all my reviews

I have been modular knitting for quite a while now and thought I knew quite alot on the subject but this book will broaden my knowledge and techniques. Yes it is written with the American market in mind but there are coversion charts which only take a second to look at and alot of books now are written this way. I thoroughly look forward to knitting trapezoids,paralleograms, hexagons and many more of the shapes given. All in all I will find it very useful for designing my own garments. As far as I can see in my copy Colour in the actual text is spelt as in the OED and Americans spell it without the "U" as in the index (hardly significant)

2.0 out of 5 stars Been done better elsewhere, 28 May 2009

By	Ms. Kathryn A. Ball - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is written for the American market, the knitting needle are in US sizes, there is a conversion table at the back but it would be nice to have metric sizes included in the text. Wools and Yarns are described using US definitions; fingering; sports; worsted; not descriptions we use in the UK and if you don't know what they you'll have to look them up. Stitches used to create the garments are given the US names oh, and "colour" is spelt wrongly. V Irritating!

Publishers please note; if you're going to sell a book in the UK we'd appreciate it if you did your research first.

So apart from those little gripes, I was disappointed with the book. It shows you how to knit the basic shapes and how to join them together BUT you have to design your own garments which novices will find to be quite difficult. Some experienced knitters also find this taxing. The projects at the back of the book vary between uninspiring (lime green jumper) and downright ugly (brown bag)

Overall, this subject has been done better elsewhere.
