Kate Atherley and Kim McBrien Evans aim to equip adventurous knitters with the skills to knit and create shawls and wraps of all shapes and sizes and to help them forge their own shawlknitting paths. Tips and tutorials address the technical aspects of shawl knitting, from shaping to adapting stitch patterns to making color and fabric choices. A gallery of patterns using handspun and handdyed yarns provide knitters with inspiration for customizing and creating their own designs. More than a dozen patterns illustrate the featured knitting techniques. Onethird of the patterns are aimed at beginning knitters, onethird teach intermediate knitters new skills for intriguing results, and onethird offer creative instruction in customizing. The featured yarns are a mix: some luxury fibers, some classics. Together, Atherley and McBrien Evans provide a 360degree view of the shawlcreation process from designing to knitting to completed garment.
"Part math lesson, part wizardry, and part creative ingenuity, Custom Shawls will help you understand the basics of shawl shaping and then manipulate them into a creation beyond your wildest dreams. "--Laura Nelkin "knitwear designer" "The real genius of Custom Shawls doesn' t lie in its clarity (though it' s super accessible), or its inspiration (though I dare you to finish the book without ignoring your other projects and starting a shawl Right Now), or in its technical depth (though it will help literally every knitter improve their craft. ) No, the best part of this book is the way it marries Kate' s exceptional technical instruction with Kim' s wild creative abandon. And what a beautiful marriage it is. "--Amy Herzog "knitwear designer and author" "Two of my favorite people have teamed up for this truly inspired book that is the first, last, and only book on shawls you' ll ever need. Not only do they provide patterns for you to explore, but they go deep into the why of everything--from shapes and stitches to yarns and colors--so that you can break free and create whatever your own heart desires. "--Clara Parkes "author, yarn critic, and wool expert"
