A whole new dimension of texture!
Dimensional tuck knitting, developed by Tracy Purtscher, is an ingenious
new technique that looks complicated yet is deceptively simple. All a
knitter must do is knit a field of stockinette with a few precisely
placed knit or purl stitches that act as markers, pick up a stitch here
and there, and then work those stitches in a simple manner. This takes
advantage of the flexibility of knitted fabric, creating a series of
manipulated welts that bend, fold, and double back on themselves for
vibrant three-dimensional texture.
With step-by-step instructions and illuminating information on every
aspect of the technique, this volume provides a comprehensive
understanding that will inspire knitters of all skill levels. More than
85 patterns, each with written and charted instructions, will dazzle;
and the collection of 10 projects--ranging from a mohair shawl to a cozy
blanket, from a bulky pullover to elegant fingerless mitts--will stun.
So, give Dimensional Tuck Knitting a try. It's the perfect new
technique for all yarn weights, all projects, and every knitter who
loves texture.
