Author Description

'Knitabliity' is a lively collection of over 30 original hand-knitting designs created by Linda O'Brien and modelled by popular personalities. Ranging from the witty and amusing - such as a family of pigs with tails you can tweak - to the truly beautiful - a magnificent stained glass window - the designs include knitwear suitable for all members of the family over five years old. Garments include huge cuddly mohair jackets and sweaters, cardigans, double-knitting sweaters and sleeveless cotton summer tops, each pattern being given in a range of sizes. The patterns are all knitted in stocking stitch and are easy to make, with detailed charts demonstrating how to create designs and motifs. An introductory section on the practice and technicalities of knitting is included for beginners, and there are charts for yarn and needle conversions and lists of stockists for overseas readers.
