Simple Designs for Meditative Knitting
19 Easy, Beautiful Patterns for a Mindful Experience by Barbara Breen
Book starts out with table of contents where there are chapters for learning how to knit where sketches and pictures and charts help explain it all, , the stitches themselves and so much more. Knitting patterns also have their own chapters.
Love the chapter about knitting as a meditative tool. Love full page color pages where it shows models and the creations, including men!
Love the quotes from books from centuries ago where they talk about being relaxed and knitting.
Each pattern chapter starts with a title, summary of the product, measurements, yarn, needles and gauge.
Full page photo of the model and the neck scarf.
Notes are included and instructions are easy to follow along. Some patterns include mittens or a cap with the scarf in matching pattern.
So many other patterns: bathmat *waffle stitch*, napkin wrap and placemat, ascot, blanket throws baby items. Acknowledgements and about the author complete this book.
What a great book, projects are easy and will work up quickly, learn new pattern stitches.
A KEEPER!
Received this book from Fox Chapel Publishing Landauer Publishing via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
