Learn from These Master Knitters How to Create Your Own Splendid Sweaters!

"Reading this wonderful book is like taking a master class with two of the most knowledgeable, gifted, and generous teachers in the modern knitting community."

-Melanie Falick, author of Weekend Knitting, Kids Knitting, and Knitting in America, and co-author of Knitting for Baby

"If this book were a movie, it would evoke Lawrence of Arabia-an epic tale of passion, dedication, and persistence. Here the authors pursue the unwritten knitting tradition of those old-time and ethnic knitters who created well-fitting sweaters using a mental schematic instead of written instructions."

-Library Journal starred review

"When it seems there's nothing more to learn about knitting, I pick up a book by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts and I'm inspired by my craft all over again. There's nothing 'old' about Knitting in the Old Way-on the contrary, it's the book to turn to for the excitement of the new."

-Pam Allen, Editor of Interweave Knits and author of Knitting for Dummies

You've mastered the basic knitting stitches and you want to create that sweater you have in mind, or one similar to a beautiful sweater you saw. How to proceed?

Traditional knitters have created beautiful sweaters for centuries without the aid of line-by-line instructions, and now you have a guide that will help you build those same skills. Knitting in the Old Way provides you with 15 master plans, 85 design samples, and 233 charts that will help you create your own designs and make sweaters that actually fit. It also gives advice on selecting yarns, various knitting methods, and how to solve common pattern problems.

This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a paperback (ISBN 1635619580).
