Color Knitting (v. 3) ("Vogue Knitting" Stitchionary: The Ultimate Stitch Dictionary from the Editors of "Vogue Knitting" Magazine) Hardcover – 1 Oct. 2006

Great reference book - have the whole set

Excellent

I was rather disappointed with this book. There is not a section on colour knitting techniques! The photographed swatches of various designs are lovely and there are several pages at the end of the book on creating other designs so if you are looking for advice and techniques on colour knitting, forget it.

I understand that this book is a source book - that's why I got it. I don't expect it to be an instructional book on how to do colour knitting - that's available elsewhere. What I did expect was a number of stimulating colour patterns - maybe some traditional patterns, maybe some new ones.What there is an over-abundance of in this book, is two or more coloured patterns that seem to come from the 1970s-1980's. Think of all those cheaply-made machine-knitted acrylic sweaters with the geometric patterns on, and you are getting near to what forms the majority of patterns in this book.There is a tendency towards overall pattern, rather than motif. Patterns seem to be made up at random - anyone can get hold of a piece of graph paper and draw out a design which they then knit up - I didn't see anything of merit in so many of the patterns, and actually quite frustrated by the content of this book - what were they thinking of? and what a wasted opportunity.

Good

Product as described. Fast shipping.

I own the entire set of the Vogue Knitting Stitchionary's. This one deals with knitting with more than one color of yarn. Fair Isle and Intarsia. If you want to know how to knit with colors, this is the book to have.They are very well written and formatted with excellent photos.

I love all the Vogue knitting books - didn’t realize this book existed until I was on amazon. All knitters needs these books!

As always, Vogue's stitchionary books have clear, well-written patterns. The patterns are beautifully photographed so you can see exactly what your knitting will look like.
