broadly: a badass knitter
You have knitted your last bad piece. Let the DomiKNITrix show
you the ropes. Yes, it may be painful to take the time to knit a gauge
swatch, count stitches and fix mistakes. But just think of the
pleasure you'll get when you knit a gorgeous, perfect sweater with no
holes and no uneven stitches.
Learn the rules or else. Inside you'll find a no-nonsense,
comprehensive guide to essential knitting operations and finishing
techniques, including step-by-step instructions for all the basic
stitches used in the patterns in the book.
Get your hands dirty. The book features over 20 spicy projects to
satisfy any knitting appetite. For a Knitting Quickie, choose from one
of the smaller projects, such as the Mohawk hat or the popular Snow
Devil cap. If you want more of a challenge, try the L'il Red Riding
Hoodie or the Big Bad Wolf icon sweater, The Slink or City Coat.
Jennifer Stafford runs the popular Web site and blog
domiKNITrix. com, filled with knitting techniques, projects,
inspiration, and attitude--knitwear for the chic and the freak.
