"When two or more colors are combined in knitting, it's called colorwork. It's the process behind the multicolored patterns and graphics seen in sweaters, hats, toys, and other knitted pieces. Colorwork looks complicated, but with a little practice, knitters of all levels will find that it's fun and easy to incorporate pops of color and delightful design into their projects. In Color Knitting with Confidence, professional knitter Nguyen Le provides down-to-earth instruction for basic colorwork techniques that will have readers joining, floating, and weaving in no time ... With step-by-step instructions, charts and diagrams, and full-color photos that instruct and inspire, Color Knitting with Confidence, is a solid guide for both beginning and more advanced knitters who are seeking the confidence to knit colorfully!"--Amazon.com.
