Inspired by the Sparrow and Kestrel linen yarns made by Quince &amp; Company, this collection uses geometric shapes and unusual construction to provide adventurous knitters with 10 new designs that are perfect for wearing in the warmer months. True to form, the author makes use of her masterful understanding of the knitted stitch and characteristics unique to plant fiber types like linen to create unconventional designs. The book includes patterns for three tees, two short-sleeved open cardigans, a shrug, a poncho, a tank top, a scarflet, and a shawlet. The pieces feature eyelets, dropped stitches, cables, and mesh to be used alone or in combination. These projects are far from basic, garden-variety pieces—each one a bold statement of modern style.

Knitting guru Norah Gaughan shows you how to make rectangles, squares, and simple shapes--then fold, twist, and pleat them to create unique, fashionable clothes and accessories Simple shapes are ideal for the novice knitter, but the clever folds and fastenings of Knit, Fold, Pleat, Repeat will intrigue the experienced crowd too. These techniques are easy to learn, and the design possibilities--and new combinations that come to light once you begin--are nearly endless. Each design starts with a simple rectangle, square, or triangle and builds from there: to fold, drape, or twist the shape into a garment or accessory, and to introduce pleats, welts, and slices along the way. Every pattern has a gorgeous high-fashion style, and the projects are so addictive to knit--you may find yourself making the same garment in new colors and yarns so you'll have one for each season. The book includes thirty-six patterns in all, each with variations.

Written by Norah Gaughan, one of the most innovative and respected knitwear designers working today, Knitting Nature was an instant classic when it was released in hardcover in 2006, and it is now available at a must-have paperback price.
In Knitting Nature, Gaughan blends together the natural and artistic world with 39 stunning, fun-to-knit designs for women, men, and children. Among them are a skirt patterned after the hexagonal scales nature has used to cover a domed turtle’s shell, a jacket whose collar grows in a spiral—much the same way a ram’s horn does—and a tank top with leaves that grow the same way they do on a stem.

Praise for Comfort Knitting &amp; Crochet: Babies &amp; Toddlers: “Has a whopping 50 patterns for knitters and crocheters who want to outfit little ones in style.” —About.com “The girls crochet sweaters are adorable. Cleire Cardiagan is bobbleiscious.” —Examiner.com "What you will not see are frilly, lacy dresses that might have been popular a few generations back but which aren’t very practical in today’s world. Nor will you see patterns with a lot of dangerous, sewn-on embellishments that children can stuff in their mouths and choke on. This book has practical, wearable clothes that are attractive but down to earth." —MyCentralJersey.com “This Pink Lemonade Dress? To. Die. For.” —Smashed Peas and Carrots “What better way to welcome a new baby to the family than with a soft and cuddly hand-knitted or crocheted piece made with lots of love?” —Detroit News “If you have a baby or toddler in your life, this is a great book to get.” —The Foodie Knitter podcast “Whether you wield a hook, a pair of needles, or both, you’ll find something to your little one’s liking.” —Yarn Market News “This is not a book that I’d grow tired using over and over again.” —Knitty.com
