 Twenty years in the making - the sequel to Hand Manipulated Stitches! 178 pages, full color

The first half of the book is divided into 6 chapters that explain all the practical applications of bridging. This technique  enables you to take control of every individual needle on the bed of your machine to vary stitch size, add extra rows in specific places or access the free yarn between the carriage and the bed. The single most liberating technique for producing hand manipulated stitches on a machine, bridging is shown in lots of step-by-step photos that will show you exactly how it is done.

 The second half of the book features nine patterns for sweaters, scarves, a shawl, hats and a fun felted tote bag that utilize bridging to produce incredible textures. One of the sweaters features a truly horizontal cable!

This book is loaded with large, easy to read charts, full color “beauty shots” and lots of step-by-step photos so that knitters who are comfortable with their machines will be able to work through the exercises and, ultimately, make bridging part of their repertoire.

A knitting machine can knit in seconds what might take hours to produce by hand. Still, there are plenty of stitches and effects that the machine cannot execute automatically. For these, your hands take charge. Hand-Manipulated Stitches for Machine Knitters is a rich sourcebook that includes detailed information on all types of hand-manipulated stitches: twisted, wrapped, woven, lifted, re-hung, transferred and cabled.

All techniques are described in generic language, suitable for any knitting machine. In addition, the first chapter offers a clear description of how machines form stitches and is especially helpful for new knitters. A companion DVD to this book is keyed to text pages and offers additional explanation for techniques covered in the book.

This edition of Hand-Manipulated Stitches is identical to the original, 1990 Taunton Press edition, though it does include a number of corrections that came to light after the initial publication.
