Doubleweave (The\weaver's Studio Ser.)

possibilities.
Inside you'll learn how to: Weave a fabric twice, thrice, or four times the
width of your loom - with no seam Weave a fabric with intersecting layers
Change
the tie-up to get many structures on one warp Weave stitched, quilted, and
piqué fabricsMake color magic with doubleweave blocks Pick up an infinity of
patterns in a variety of structures Weave pockets, a seamless tube, many
seamless tubes, a tube within a tube And so much more! With Doubleweave,
you'll
learn to set up your loom efficiently, to manage your shuttles and layer
changes, and to finish your work effectively. Best of all, you'll learn to
think
in a new way about how doubleweave works on as many shafts as you have so
you can apply it in fresh and creative ways. You will be a master of the
magic
of doubleweave.

Crochet So Fine: Exquisite Designs with Fine Yarns
by 
Kristin Omdahl

Kristin Omdahl's Crochet So Fine takes crocheted clothing from fussy to
fashionable! By working with thinner yarns and more flexible stitches,
crocheters
can produce garments that are stylish and comfortable, figure-flattering
without being form-fitting and great for layering. And just because the yarn
is
thin doesn't mean crocheters need to use the smallest of hooks, fine crochet
can be quick and easy, too.Crocheters begin by exploring techniques specific
to crocheting with fine yarns: gauge, blocking, and garment construction
tips to maximize drape. Then they can choose from 20 projects including
stunning
crocheted pullovers, cardigans, jackets, capes, shawls, scarves, hats, and
more. Many of the projects only require one or two skeins of yarn. The
designs
are interesting to make, using clever stitch motifs, innovative and
traditional shaping methods, and a variety of crochet techniques and
embellishment
ideas. In addition to a variety of stitch patterns, motifs, and techniques,
Crochet So Fine includes tutorials with detailed illustrations and
instruction
on Tunisian crochet, broomstick crochet, and hairpin lace. The garments
include couture details such as colorwork, beading, lace, ruffles, tiers,
and more.
All stitch motifs include charts, and the specialized techniques include
how-to sections.
