Mason-Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines: Patterns, Stories, Pictures, True Confessions, Tricky Bits, Whole New Worlds, and Familiar Ones, Too
Comforting and funny and real and honest, gorgeous and clever and wise. An excellent sequel to the Mason-Dixon first knitting book, this one carries on where that one left off – including silly and whimsical among serious and clever. Check out the Ravelry page for this book to get an idea of all the patterns – most of them seem to be in Ravelry with quite a few images from knitters who have made up the patterns.
With coats, sweaters, socks and dresses there is a lot to choose from and you may well want to knit them all. With the help of Kay and Ann’s usual wit and excellent explanations – try the Kiki Mariko – fair isle rug which is knit as a tube then steeked, and cut after felting. Or the Liberty rug, also knit as a tube and then steeked.The Golightly Gloves are fun – a new version of Blu baby pants is included in the book – but you can get the original pattern on knitty.com
