Hand Knitting by Alison Ellen
This title celebrates this traditional craft with a bold approach to the opportunities that the knitted fabric presents. This book explores the qualities of knitting in a clear way to interest new and old knitters alike. The book explains the basic stitches and techniques and creative ways of using them, together with advice on how to design your own garments, cushions and throws. Projects to make a range of jumpers, jackets, hats and cushions are also included.
Alison Ellen trained in textile design in the 1960s - she started her own business designing and making hand-knitted garments in the 1980s. For the past twenty-five years she has been teaching on a part-time basis textile groups around the UK. She is aware of the need to encourage people to rediscover hand knitting, which has slipped into a very low profile in the UK.
