Book excerpt: A reference work for machine knitters, this easy-to-follow, visually rich guide to innovative knit design transmits the authors' distinct love for and expertise in the craft of machine knitting and their profound knowledge of knitting techniques. This reference work for machine knitters by the late Beleke den Hartog, co-founder of The Dutch School of Machine Knitting, Studio den Hartog in the Hague, and Elsbeth van Heyningen, who co-headed with Beleke the Department of Fashion and Textile at The Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, leads knitters to an in-depth understanding of knitting construction. A handbook for the upcoming generation of knitting designers, Machine Knitter's Reference is a tutorial and visual book of few words, but rich in illustrations, graphics, and photos, that can be understood by everyone. This easy-to-follow guide to innovative knit design picks up where, once the basics of machine knitting are mastered, follow up questions arise such as: shaping 2- or 3-dimensional forms, shaping the outside, creating volume from the inside, and giving structure to a knit. It explores methods of shaping where stitches remain on the needle or are transferred to adjacent needles, as well as variations in edging the knitting, always considering what the finished product needs to convey. Moreover, the book uses different methods of calculating and designing, including graphs, formulas, and technical drawings, all enhanced by fun sketches depicting the authors in lively discussion creating the book. The calculations in the book are not according to arithmetic principles or software solutions, but are based on the use of a knitting machine and knitting technology. Ingenious alternative solutions are included in all four chapters, each of which uses a different yarn colour and a specific language. Thorough yet playful, this book transmits the authors' distinct love for the craft of machine knitting and their profound knowledge of all knitting techniques. Offering insight for digital application, the book is a preliminary sketch (a blueprint) with many opportunities to elaborate on it. There is no single way to achieve the resu

Download or read book Knitspeak written by Andrea Berman Price and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-09-13 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handy guide unravels the mysteries of terms, symbols, and abbreviations to make pattern reading easy for knitters of all levels. Knitting can be a challenging craft, but even more challenging than knitting itself is the cryptic language—a mix of abbreviations, numbers, jargon, punctuation marks, and other symbols—in which patterns are usually written. It’s no wonder so many beginners (and even some whose skills are quite advanced) are intimidated by the bewildering code—or that so many yarn-shop owners grow frustrated by the amount of time they must spend deciphering patterns for the uninitiated. Enter Knitspeak, a knitter’s dictionary that disentangles the mysteries of pattern language and translates it into plain English, helping knitters to easily transition from confused to confident. Andrea Berman Price’s essential guide—written in a friendly, reassuring tone and formatted for quick reference—begins with an overview of how knitting patterns are organized. It then offers a comprehensive alphabetical listing of all the abbreviations, words, phrases, and symbols typically encountered in patterns. Knitspeak’s many easy-to-understand drawings clarify basic and not-so-basic needle techniques, and a series of sidebars deals with issues ranging from keeping track of simultaneous shaping to substituting yarns and reading a yarn label. The book’s appendix is filled with valuable tips, charts, and worksheets.
