Maran Illustrated™ Knitting and Crocheting
I just received a copy of the NEW Maran Illustrated Knitting & Crocheting Book. It is a beautiful work of art! This is a full color book that covers everything about knitting and crochet. The photographs are excellent, clear, and concise. Even the close up photos show so much detail. You feel as if you could reach out and feel the texture of the yarn. Plus, there are easy text instructions that accompany each photo. You couldn't get any clearer even if you had someone with you showing you how to do the stitches.
This book covers so much that I wouldn't have room here to list everything, but for a quick review, it has (all illustrated) types of yarn, weights, all about needles and hooks, terms, all the stitches, checking your gauge, decorative touches such as cables, lace, bobbles, fringes, tassels, pompoms and beads, fair isle, intarsia, increases and decreases, how to fix mistakes, blocking, change colors, finishing projects, making buttonholes, sewing pieces together, reading patterns and much more.
It also includes knitting patterns for a child's scarf, cotton candy scarf, checkered dishcloth, bathmat, striped hat, tank top, baby outfit, decorative pillow, cellphone cozy, lacy vest, cozy knit socks, sweet dreams blanket, child's colorful sweater, zip neck sweater, sweetheart purse, weekend pullover.
For crochet the book illustrates designs for the solid shell stitch, griddle stitch, granny square, chevron stitch. Then there are patterns for a shimmering striped scarf and a moonlit sky scarf.
