Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible: A Review
Today in Knitting Needles and Broken Injuries, we will take a look at the Japanese Knitting Sewing Bible: Hitomi Shidar 260 Elegant Patterns . I further note that the title of this book does not exaggerate its content. This book is a great resource for knitters. It has 260 different knitting patterns that are pornographic positive for textile lovers. Dozens of photos, then beautiful, intricate, creative and elegant stitching, then dozens of photos, which made me gasp, sigh in joy and take a deep breath until I was glad to see the book alone. There is no way to show the inside of the book, but I suggest you pay attention to the dot pattern shown in the cover image and imagine multiplying the dot pattern by 260 at that level. And all this dot pattern came from a brain, my brain. Hitomi Shida can be a very talented stylist and also a fashion genius like the colorful work of Cafe Faset.
Maybe I should warn you that if you are familiar with the standard western style knitting pattern instructions you will notice a slight rhythmic change in the instructions in this book. Japanese knitwear designers use a more elegant graphic style, which has recently begun to be used in North American textile publications, where the knitting pattern was created as a visual representation of the finished knitting look, no longer linear. A simple graph of the English model, where each box in the graph represents a corresponding point of the model. There are usually no locks, as each published Japanese weaving pattern uses the same standard symbol and the weaver is expected to know what the symbol represents. Since the symbols have been translated so that English-speaking weavers do not recognize the symbols, this weaving pattern convention should not be too difficult for new weavers to learn and learn. Learn to use a slightly different weaving style and it will definitely be worth it.
There are only five current examples of this project in the Japanese Knitting Bible , so let's look at the specifics. Everything is in a simple shape, because Hitomi Shidar's focus as a designer is almost entirely on sewing. A look at her Ravelry wallet reveals hundreds of designs, including beautiful and fashionable stitching.
Curly mini scarf. Wow very nice. A little trick adds a bit to the perfect touch of a woman's style without overdoing it.
Socks for warm feet. Very useful and beautiful socks.
Hat with diagonal stitching and lace. . When I look at the complex wire, I get the idea that it resembles a highly developed brain component.
Sweet fingerless gloves. Attractive and portable.
Elegant decorative necklace. Oops! Very beautiful. It will add a special touch to a casual dress or sweater.
