Debbie Bliss knitting course is the perfect introduction to this versatile craft, from casting on the first stitch to creating an intricate Fair Isle cardigan. Presented as nine workshops, each lesson builds on the skills already learned to ensure steady, confident progress. As well as teaching new techniques and stitches, each lesson finishes with projects specially designed to put new skills into practice. The first lesson looks at materials and equipment, then takes you through the most basic stitches and techniques. At the end of the first course, you will be able to knit a childs garter-stitch jacket and an adults stocking-stitch tunic. Subsequent lessons cover simple stitch patterns, Aran knitting, Intarsia and Fair Isle, lace knitting, entrelac, and finishing techniques. Each lesson also presents a collection of stitches that builds into a library, and projects range from clothing for the family to blankets and throws for the home. Packed with hundreds of color photos and illustrations, this is an ideal how-to for
beginners and a valuable reference for more experienced knitters. Among Debbie Bliss many successful books are Classic Knits for Kids, Bright Knits for Kids, Great Knits for Kids, and Nautical Knits for Kids.
