Newly-published books
There aren't many patterns for garments in crochet that I really fancy
making. I'll pick up my hook for blankets and toys, but when I think
garments, I think knitting. Karen Whooley's book
Coastal Crochet has made me rethink - there are a couple of
loose-fitting sweaters in the book that I'd love to own, along with a lacy
cardi and a shawl (or three).
Knitting For The Fun Of It by Frida Pontén caught my eye because of
the range of techniques that she uses in her designs: diagonal stripes,
slip-stitch colorwork, cables, chevrons, entrelac and more. If you're
looking to expand your technique repertoire while making attractive
patterns, this might be just the book.
Beth Brown-Reinsel's book Knitting Ganseys was first published
25 years ago, but she has now revised and updated it. With a wealth of
information and photos on the history of ganseys, this one is going on my
wish list.
