  Graphic knits have a long history, and this type of knitting is quite popular - though typically, the designs have been based on traditional old style motifs like snowflakes, leaves, and flowers. This book gives a growing, younger, experimental audience of knitters a great resource of stylish, contemporary graphics, and shows them how to integrate patterns into knitted sweaters, tank tops, bags, hats and legwarmers. The book will show how you can convert any design - a palm tree, an Elvis, a heart with an arrow - into a knitting pattern, and translate it into a project. The book covers basic techniques, stripes, intarsia, duplicate stitch, embroidery and embellishments, and includes a gallery of graphs for cool projects.
