Inspirational Stitches, Textures, and Surfaces
A unique, visually inspiring, all-color survey
of knitted textile designs and patterns.Françoise Tellier-Loumagne has
taught textile and knit design in France for more than thirty years.
Drawing on her experience as teacher and practitioner, she has assembled
a creative and inventive overview of stitches and fabrics, both
hand-knitted and machine-made, presenting hundreds of sumptuous ways of
working with yarn, from silk thread to Shetland wool. This book uses
basic patterns as points of departure, opening up endless possibilities
for sophisticated knitting designs.The book is organized by fabric
types: simple knits, jacquards, fine jersey knits, interlock, open-work,
and many others. It covers hand knitting, domestic machine knitting,
and industrial knitting, explaining the relevant techniques and notation
for each.Every type of stitch that she describes is accompanied by
enlarged photos of the textiles, detailed diagrams, and written
instructions. The yarns used here are highly textural and attractive.
Over 600 illustrations and hundreds of diagrams. von Francoise
