The Knitted Rug: 21 Fantastic Designs
Here's a fresh take on the crafts of rugmaking and knitting, as well as the very first book of its kind. These 21 stylish rug projects are so eye-catching that it's hard to believe that even novice knitters can create them. But they can, thanks to a thorough section on knitting basics, sumptuously illustrated with more than 60 how-to photographs; advice on embellishments, including embroidery, fringes, and tassels; and instruction on finishing touches, such as weaving ends, sewing seams, blocking, backing, and lining.

Ethnic Knitting Exploration
This is an unusual knitting book, because you're an unusual knitter.These pages don't contain lots of inspiring color photos because there's heaps of inspiration at your favorite yarn shop or spinning wheel.
What you'll find here is solid information on how to build three classic sweater shapes-raglan, circular yoke, and saddle-shoulder-in the yarn that's caught your fancy. You'll also discover ways to use color patterning, build an Aran-style design, and turn a pullover into a cardigan.
It also offers you three small projects that will help you build your independent-knitter skills quickly and easily before you launch into a sweater.
This book's goal isn't to give you one sweater idea and then sit on the shelf. It's to help you discover the joy and satisfaction of knitting without patterns when you want to. And to increase your understanding and sense of control and pleasure when you do use patterns.
Patterns from The Knitted Rug (on Barnes & Noble) and Ethnic Knitting Discovery (on Ravelry) are now available for download. as is my entire booklet, Learn to Lace Knit (on e-Pattern Central).
