Book Description
Knitting on the mid-gauge machine is so much fun. Items knit up fast. The designs for the patters are simple so they are easy to knit. A variety of techniques will be used for the many projects - short rowing, tuck, lace and intarsia. You will find a wealth of information explaining many techniques you will use for these patterns and for future knitting. Included are: wraps, shawl, scarves, baby blankets and afghans to knit. Lots of photos and row by row instructions. The samples were knit using the LK 150 but any mid-gauge machine will work just as nicely. If you don't have the yarn used in the pattern - use the tension as your guide to selecting another yarn. Many of the hand knit yarns work well on the mid-gauge machines - so give them a try. I enjoy plying thinner yarns to make unique yarns for some of the projects.

Book Description
Knitting is an enduringly popular and creative craft, but many associate the techniques primarily with hand knitting, believing machine knitting to require arcane knowledge. However, machine knitting is formed from the same stitch structures and is equally versatile. Translating between Hand and Machine Knitting rediscovers the potential of domestic machine knitting to open up new possibilities for dedicated knitters, offering an equally creative yet timesaving method of crafting new designs. With over 500 images, this comprehensive guide offers detailed step-by-step explanations of techniques in both hand and machine knitting, whilst also offering inspiration and design advice. Dr Vikki Haffenden, a highly experienced knit designer, technical knitter and educator, shares the knowledge and understanding she has accumulated over a career designing for the knitted textile and knitwear industry and as a lecturer in knitted textile design. Topics covered include: Illustrated step-by-step instructions of hand and machine knitting techniques; Qualities and behaviours of fibres and yarns and their suitability for knitting; Equipment requirements and advice; Basic stitches and stitch constructions of hand and machine knitting; Combining stitches to make surface texture and colour patterns; Shaping and knitting 3D shapes; Calculating garment shape and size from tension swatches. Superbly illsutrated with 397 colour photographs and 130 line artworks.
