A shawl can keep you warm in the winter, top off an elegant evening dress, or chase away the chill on a summer evening. It’s the perfect addition to any wardrobe—and the perfect project for any knitter who’s tired of working on scarf after scarf and wants to move on to something new. Vogue Knitting Shawls & Wraps presents 25 of the magazine’s most gorgeous wraps, all created by today’s top knitwear designers.  The patterns include a chic beaded shawl or one with delicate open lacework; a cozy cabled cape, a stylish fringed wrap, and many other exquisite designs.

 

The editors at Vogue® Knitting, the most trusted name in the craft, have done it again, creating the most comprehensive guide available to sock knitters! No other book has both information for designing your own socks and such fabulous, never-before-published designer patterns. It includes background on the social and historical development of sock knitting (complete with historical photos), techniques (top-down, bottom-up, many different heel and toe styles), stitch patterns, and socks from a wide variety of ethnic traditions. Since sock knitting requires only the most basic skills, like casting on, knitting in the round, decreasing, working short rows, picking up stitches, binding off and seamless joining, it’s a great place for beginners to start.
