'Teach Yourself VISUALLY Knitting Design' Uses Color Photographs to Show You the Way to Custom Design Your Own Patterns

Hoboken, NJ (PRWeb) February 12, 2007 -- There is no doubt about it, the knitting craze has needled its way into pop culture and is here to stay. But for those knitters who have ideas that surpass the knitting patterns available to them, a new revolution in knitting is finally on the horizon. With Teach Yourself VISUALLY™ Knitting Design (Visual™, an imprint of Wiley; January 2007; $24.99), today's creative knitters can break free of pattern dependency. This handy book provides all the tools a person needs to create garments that match his or her personality, shape and style. Now you are free to stretch your imagination as far as the yarn.

Author Sharon Turner (Teach Yourself VISUALLY Knitting) starts off with the basics -- such as checking gauge, using master patterns in multiple gauges, choosing appropriate yarn and calculating yarn yardage. Armed with these basic tools, you will be able to create your own unique designs. With color photos to guide you every step of the way, Turner provides pattern instructions for hats, sweaters, mittens and scarves and then moves on to a variety of ways to customize the garment, from changing yarns and shifting structures to adding creative embellishments. With a special reference that provides stitch patterns, garment sizing charts and pages to sketch designs on, it's never been so easy to knit outside of the box.

This innovative book is the only tool knitters of all levels need to create something completely unique that matches their tastes. With step-by-step instructions each accompanied by a detailed photo, knitting ideas to life has never been easier. And the best part is you won't need to wade through complicated text to get there.

Recent studies have concluded that up to 40 percent of all adults may be "visual learners" who learn faster by seeing and imitating, rather than simply reading. Teach Yourself VISUALLY™ Knitting Design takes readers on a visual journey from mastering basic designs and patterns to adding personal flourishes, to designing your own unique knits. The designs of the future are in your hands.
