knit, and universally wearable. In Favorite Socks,
Interweaveoffers 25 beautiful and timeless sock patterns for every

Knits went out-of-print–now they are handily bound together in this
inspired collection. The adventurous knitter will find a classic, varied
compilation of socks from renowned sock designers including Nancy Bush,
Evelyn Clark, Priscilla Gibson-Roberts, and more.
Patterns have comprehensive instructions for the various techniques used.

“classics” for those avid knitters who may have every issue of Knits
since 1996.
It’s all here: the traditional cuff-down,

patterns; delicate and elegant socks, sturdy and functional socks; socks
for men and women, every season, every foot—and any knitter.
Lace Style: Traditional to Innovative, 21 Inspired Designs to Knit (2007 release) with
Pam Allen
From runways to department stores, lace is
everywhere and knitters are picking up their needles to chase the trend.
Lace Style takes a fresh approach to this classic theme by
combining solid techniques with 20+ contemporary projects.
Following the success of Scarf Style and Wrap Style—with
more than 100,000 copies sold— we’ve selected a stunning collection of
quick knits that take a modern twist on a traditional pattern.
Accomplished designers including Vëronik Avery, Norah Gaughan, Annie
Modesitt, Shirley Paden and Michele Rose Orne will inspire with patterns
ranging from scarves, shawls, hats, sweaters, dresses, and more.
Revel in ways to use lace as allover
patterns, trims and edgings, and inserts. Innovative designs include a
lace pattern typically used for baby wear boldly translated into a
striking woman’s scalloped jacket, a delicate lace edging used to accent a
featherlight lingerie dress, a chic skirt made lacy with intentionally
dropped stitches, a wide-brim garden hat with a decidedly vintage feel, a
sophisticated bracelet knitted from fine silver wire, and much more.
Each pattern has detailed step-by-step
instructions and lavish lifestyle photographs with plenty of detail shots
to keep readers inspired. A special design chapter demystifies the
elements of knitted lace, and details several ways to achieve lacy
effects. It also provides key pointers on how to incorporate lace motifs
into other patterns and tips to ensure success.
Whether you’re an experienced knitter
looking for inspiration or a beginner trying lace knitting for the first
time, Lace Style has everything you need to knit lace with
confidence.
