English:

Fair Isle knitting may look complicated, but it really is easy to do once you understand the basics. Author Lynne Watterson starts beginners off with the basics of two-color knitting: reading a Fair Isle chart; what to do with all the fiddly yarn ends, and getting to grips with circular needles. The main chapters feature a selection of beautiful stitch patterns. Each pattern has clear instructions in both written and chart form, and these are cross-referenced to a comprehensive guide to abbreviations. Each of the main chapters includes simple, stylish projects demonstrating ways to use the beautifully shaded Fair Isle patterns—from chic accessories and the latest fashion looks to contemporary cushion covers and throws.
A clear guide - an illustrated, step-by-step, guide to knitting Fair Isle—how to hold the yarns, strand across the back of the knitting, link the colours in, and weaving. Plus, flat and circular knitting. The book contains various patterns and projects - a child’s jacket with Fair Isle yoke, a bag with leather handles, a scarf and headband; a short, boxy jacket; a fabric throw with Fair Isle panel at ends; boot cuffs, fingerless mitts, a parker-style jacket; cushion covers; legwarmers, and a hat.
A great book for beginners. Demonstrates the basics of two-color knitting: reading a Fair Isle chart; what to do with all the fiddly yarn ends, and getting to grips with circular needles.

The Complete Guide to Natural Dyeing. Techniques and Recipes for Dyeing Fabrics, Yarns and Fibres at Home

English:

Colours From Nature describes in full detail how to prepare and use natural dyes on a variety of fibres to produce a wide range of colours, following safe and environmentally-friendly methods. The comprehensive recipe section gives instructions for over 100 colours, using both traditional dyes such as cochineal, indigo, madder and weld, and dyes from more common plants such as blackberry, rhubarb, oak and walnut.

Jenny Dean, linguist, lecturer and experimental dyer, is passionate about natural dyeing: she not only researches ethnic dyeing techniques and lectures on the subject but also has her own business supplying natural dyes and running workshops on natrual dyeing. As a hobby she also grows her own dyeplants in her Bedfordshire cottage garden, and her home, not surprisingly, is a riot of colourful textiles from all over the world.

Despite its long history as a leading textile design house and retailer, Liberty has yet to produce its own inspirational book of home sewing. That is set to change. This sumptuous book has been created to showcase Liberty Art Fabrics, to inspire the reader with their versatility and to provide irresistible original designs for the home. Divided into three chapters Essential, Organisation and Luxury this book contains projects ranging from practical fold-up shopping bags to elegant cushions, through handy display boards and slipcovers to indulgent kimonos, beanbags and throws. Variations are included for many projects so the core collection is in fact an inexhaustible resource of ideas. This book offers the opportunity to add an element of Liberty style using as much or as little Liberty fabric as you choose. While respecting the essential timelessness of the Liberty brand, the projects present a modern way of using the prints for a contemporary take on home furnishings. They include both core items as well as more special designs but they are all characterised by the imaginative use of fabric with often unexpected combinations of colour and pattern. The projects in this book all showcase Liberty fabrics to maximum effect.

English:

When people think of Japanese craft, they often think of zakka—cute, whimsical sewing projects. But Japan has a long history of traditional quilting as well. Yoko Saito, a quilt artist for more than thirty years, explores traditional folk themes in her work and interprets them with a vintage, yet modern feel. The projects in this book use traditional patchwork techniques such as log cabin, hexagons, baskets, and stars, sewn in soft sepia and taupe fabrics. Featuring piecework, appliqué, machine stitching, handstitching, and embroidery, these projects are a delight for anyone who loves doing needlework. Nostalgic yet modern, in soft monochromatic fabrics, the projects can be described as Japanese-style Americana, modern country style that’s also at home in chic urban settings. A subtle, detailed, exquisitely crafted beauty characterizes these lovely projects. While the book features a few large wall quilts, most of the projects are small (albeit detailed), with appeal for quilters who want a taste of traditional quilting without the investment of time and labor that bed-size projects require. Many of the projects are variations on Yoko’s popular signature fabric baskets/containers/handbags, and there are also cushions, an apron, sewing kit, and notions box. Paper patterns for all projects are in an enclosed envelope in the book. While Yoko Saito’'s stitching is beautiful and meticulous, she embraces the wabisabi concept of imperfection, using odd-shaped pieces and quilting with a free mind, as she says, that is not bound by conventional designs. Her respect for the legacy of traditional quilting is apparent in her aesthetic, yet unique and contemporary designs emerge from her blend of stitching experience and open-minded artistry.

In Fair Isle Basics and Beyond, you’ll discover 17 projects that incorporate a variation of Fair Isle and contemporary stranded colorwork applications. We’ve assembled a collection of stylish accessory designs to help you get your bearings. In First Things First, try your hand on some simple two-color approaches using chunky and worsted weight yarns. Then, when you’re ready to spread your wings, you can test your skills on the projects in Second Steps, which expands into using some lighter gauge yarns, and incorporating up to five colors with detailed color charts. The variety of projects in Fair Isle Basics and Beyond will continually hone your color working skills, and keep your family and friends toasty warm in the winter months ahead! If special techniques are included in this book, please list in detail: Fair Isle Knitting: Fair Isle knitting is a traditional technique used to create patterns consisting of multiple colors. Traditional Fair Isle patterns use a variety of colors and shades, using only two colors per row, and are generally knitted in the round, without the use of the purl stitch. In traditional Fair Isle knitting there are always two available active colors of yarn at a time; one is used to create the knit stitch, and the other is carried loosely behind the work. Fair Isle patterns can use up to 5 stitches of one color at a time because too many stitches of the same color will leave a very long strand of carried yarn.
17 easy to tackle stranded color work projects. Presented from the easiest projects to the more advanced. Resource for the novice knitter ready to learn color work basics. Knitters of every level will appreciate the assortment of stitch pattern variations.
