Escape from Knitting Doldrums |
|||
| I love to knit. You only have to look at my collection of yarn, needles, and knitting patterns to know that. Yet, after knitting for over twenty years, I found myself knitting less and less. I realized I had gotten into a rut. I had been making the same things, with different yarns but the same basic patterns, for the last couple of years – sleeveless shells for work and oversized sweaters for casual wear, and countless baby hats and jackets for friends and families and I was bored. However, Interweave Press saved me from the knitting doldrums. Founded in 1975, Interweave has become well known in fiber crafts circles through magazines such as Interweave Knits, Beadwork, Fiberarts, Handwoven, PieceWork, and Spin•Off, as well as with a wide range of books focused on fiber, thread, needlework, beads and natural materials. A few new Interweave books have enabled me richto invigorate my old skills and acquire some new ones, so I am happily back to work. I will still make quite a few sleeveless shells but they will now be of gorgeous colors, perhaps with a bit of beading, and I may even crochet a few along the way. Here are short reviews of these new Interweave offerings. | ||||
