Inspirations galore

If you're looking for directions on how to knit, this isn't the book you want. If you're looking for fresh ideas and new design directions, to take your knitting to the next level, you will find a plethora of ideas to inspire you.Some of the "new directions" include knitting in circles out from the center, modular knitting techniques (more than just mitered squares), different takes on intarsia and fair isle, several ideas for stripes, etc, etc, etc. This is not a manual for the "by the book" knitter - but if you're ready to take your own knitting path, you might enjoy the view.
