Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible: A Review
Today in "Knitting Needles and the Damage Done" we take a look at the Japanese Knitting Bible: 260 Amazing Patterns by Hitomi Shida. First of all let me say that the title of this book does not exaggerate its content. This book is an excellent resource for knitters. It features 260 different crochet patterns that are absolutely pornographic for knitting fans. Dozens of photos following dozens of photos of beautiful, intricate, creative and elegant stitching patterns that made me look so deeply, sigh and love to see the book in person. I have no way of showing you the inside of this book, but I suggest you take a closer look at the dotted pattern on the cover and multiply the dotted pattern on this layer by 260. And all of these dotted patterns come from the brain of one. the only thing that blew my brain. Hitomi Shida is a very talented stylist and can have a fashion genius like Kaffe Fassett has for color work.
I should probably warn you that if you are familiar with the conventions of standard Western crochet pattern instructions, you will find some variations in the instructions in this book. Japanese knitting designers use the most beautiful graphic styles, which have only been used relatively recently in North American knitting publications, where knitting graphics are meant to be a visual representation of the finished sewing look rather than a more linear one. . general diagram in the model in English, where each box in the diagram represents a corresponding point in the model. There are also usually no locks as every published Japanese crochet pattern uses the same standard symbols and knitters are expected to know what those symbols represent. Since the English-speaking knitters for whom this book is translated are not necessarily familiar with the symbols, explanations are given in this book so that it is not too difficult for a knitter new to this knitting convention to learn and learn. Try using a slightly different knitting style and it will definitely work.
There are only five model projects currently in the Japanese Knitting Knitting Bible , so let's take a closer look. They are all simple in shape as Hitomi Shida's focus as a stylist seems to be almost entirely on sewing. A look at her Ravelry portfolio reveals hundreds of project design patterns in sewing forms that are comfortable, fun, beautiful and stylish.
