Newly-published books
Three of this month's books have made it onto my Christmas wish list, starting with Hitomi Shida's Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. As useful as I find the charted stitch dictionaries in Japanese, this one in English will be even more useful!
I can't wait to investigate Lucy Hague's Illuminated Knits, where she uses a slip-stitch technique to produce intricate colored cable patterns without the use of fair-isle or intarsia.
Finally I love the look of Emma Mitchell's Making Winter. Alongside knitting patterns, it includes recipes and other craftiness, and if Emma's Instagram account is anything to go by, the photography will make it an inspirational book to snuggle down with on a cold winter's day.
