  Unlike most knitting books, this one focuses on how to embellish simple knitted items with a host of decorative techniques to make them look more beautiful and complex than they really are. Most of the techniques can easily be accomplished - even by novice knitters - but they will introduce the more creative aspects of knitting.

  The book includes 100 practical techniques, 125 inspirational ideas and 18 creative projects, all with clear step-by-step instructions and inspirational stitch ideas. Learn how to add beading, use bobbles, strands and fringing, work with different wools and incorporate techniques such as applique, smocking and embroidery in your work. Many of the techniques can also be used to customize bought knitwear to create unique and exciting new items.
