Contemporary garments that celebrate stunning results without complicated techniques are the focus of this collection. Step-by-step instructions, thorough materials lists, and a design notebook cover the ways to maximize style while simplifying knitting and finishing techniques. Requiring only a basic understanding of knitting, this guide is packed with clever design ideas such as innovative edgings, a well-placed band of color or texture, an unexpected yarn, and creative constructions that minimize seams or customize personal fit.
Full of designs that you can pull on almost as soon as you finish the knitting! Each designer focuses on giving you a great-looking sweater with a minimal amount of fuss.

May 02, 2009: I think that you can always count on Interweave Press for designs that can be classic, that you would want to knit, then knit again. This book has a number of items that I hope will make it to my wardrobe, starting with the adorable Gansey Skirt.
