Creative Knitting di Mary Walker Phillips
It would seem that the author has a different interpretation of "creative" than I do. The book is rich in historical detail, but I don't feel creatively inspired by the possibilities of knitting after reading this.
This book guides the beginner step by step in the art of tying knots to make pillows, wall hangings, plant hangers, and other projects.
I love this book! The cover pattern hooked me...it is one of my favorites. I have found the counterpanes a bit challenging at times but oh, so worth the effort. I consider myself an intermediate knitter and have made many swatches; decided to use the cover pattern for an afghan/blanket for DGD.
The illustrations and pics are great, the patterns are well written...overall, this was a fantastic addition to my knitting library.
