Details
Not every knitter wants to be a designer, but most would like to have the skills to customize a design to make it their own. In Custom Knits, Wendy Bernard, presents 25 sweater designs, along with inventive variations for 10 of those patterns. Wendy employs her hilarious writing style to lament the common pitfalls of knitting and provides step-by-step lessons on customization (for example, changing the neckline or sleeve style, adding waist shaping, or substituting a different yarn than called for in the pattern), so that you can customize any pattern - not just the ones included in the book - to your own liking. Patterns are written for a wide range of sizes that you can either knit as is or customize. For more adventurous knitters, Wendy provides a ‘Starting from Scratch’ section with formulas for how to design a sweater with no pattern at all, as well as a tutorial on how to make a dress form to match one's figure out of duct tape.
