Put down those chunky yarns and fat needles and
discover the creative possibilities of thin yarns. Think
thin yarns are slow and boring to knit with? Think
again! This information-packed book features more than
twenty stylish and contemporary projects knit with
lightweight yarns. Thin is in! Lightweight yarns have a
bad reputation: slow to knit with, unfashionable,
limited to socks and lace, and fussy to deal with. Give
those skinny yarns another look! Projects knit with thin
yarns can range from quick, easy, and daring to bold,
elaborate, refined, and sophisticated. Perfect for all
skill levels, the projects in Knit So Fine show that
garments knitted with thin yarns fit more precisely, are
more flattering to the figure, feel better against the
skin, are great for layering, and offer more versatility
for fashion elements like ruching, ruffles, gauzy
layers, and drape. Knit So Fine educates knitters about
fine yarns: what they are, the many advantages of
knitting with fine yarns, plus tips and techniques to
make the knitting process more enjoyable. Knitters will
also find stylish and contemporary patterns, including a
drapy silk top, a supple zippered cable hoodie, a bamboo
skirt with stunning drape, a bohus-inspired pullover, a
wrap dress, a ruffled scarf, and much more! Discover the
versatility of knitting with fine yarns, from quick
knits and small projects to long-term projects that are
worth the wait, with Knit So Fine.
