Funky Knits
By Carol Meldrum & Julie Marchington
Knitting Know-How for hip young things —
Knitting comes out of the parlor in this edgy collection of modern designs for
knitters who want their personalities to come through in their projects. More than
30 patterns, including a cozy hoodie, a key chain, and an easy-care cactus stretch
a knitter's repertoire beyond simple scarves and hats. The themed sections take
intrepid handcrafters from an "Urban Playground" to "Home Comforts" while an
introductory chapter covers knitting terms and techniques so novice knitters
can skip the fuss and get right down to the knitty-gritty. A variety of yarns
are used, fueling mix-and-match creativity, and there is even a market tote
to knit from old plastic grocery bags. Always unpredictable and never square,
the new projects in this book will spark creativity in hip knitters everywhere.
