Book Overview
Beginning knitters: graduation day has come Two designers from the highly regarded Trendsetter Yarn Company have created a collection of projects that will painlessly take novices to the next level. What's a newly avid knitter to do when she's mastered the scarf and wants to go beyond? Too many books just repeat the same group of basics, while others set the goal too high for anyone who's not a whiz with the needles. Innovative Knitovation solves the problem, showing just how easy it can be to create something sensational while gaining proficiency at the same time. These are high-end, sophisticated fashions, with slightly more advanced skills--but all you need to know to begin is how to knit a simple square, rectangle, or triangle. At the start of each design, drawings show every piece that goes into the final product; then, there are unique techniques for putting them together for a finished item that fits beautifully and looks great.

KNITOVATION BOOK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
THIS A WONDERFUL BOOK ------------ INOVATIVE AND YET, EVERY DESIGN IS TOTALLY WEARABLE IN EVERY CLIMATE.
Outstanding stuff from squares and rectangles
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is an absolutely great book for anyone, but a real motivation for beginners. Everything in the book is "shaped" from squares and rectangles. If you can knit, purl, cast on and bind off, you have it covered. The looks are extremely new and fresh looking, and great for all body shapes.
A new classic

This book is exactly what it says it is. It offers fashionable and fun designs for the knitter who loves to just knit and does not want to deal with a lot of shaping, counting, and finishing. The designs are not form-fitting, but they are quite flattering for many figures. I consider this a collection of very basic patterns that can easily be adapted to an almost endless variety of yarns. Since the pieces are all rectangular or triangular, it is very easy to substitute yarns of different gauges. I made the design on the cover out of a totally different kind of yarn and everyone loves it. Since Barry Klein is the owner of Trendsetter and frequently collaborates with the owner of Prism, the yarns used are all from Trendsetter and Prism, which are expensive. The designs, however, stand on their own without the specific yarns used.
Fabulous, exciting!!

What an inspiration this book is for a beginning knitter. I am very structured and conventional in everything I do, yet KNITOVATON has shown me the way to knit without fear. The designs are exquisite and best of all I can follow the instructions without problems. I have already finished making "Gelato" and can hardly wait to start something else. So much fun!!!!! I look forward to KNITOVATION Book 2.
