Synopsis
In her wonderfully informative book, knitting shop owner and yarn dyer Elaine Eskesen demystifies hand-dyed yarns, providing down-to-earth practical information and reassuring encouragement to knitters so they can trust their own creative instincts. Dyeing to Knit includes commentary from other nationally recognized knitting designers. Using a selection of Elaine's exquisite hand-dyed yarns, each designer created a pattern swatch to showcase the yarns' colours and textures.
Maybe you're already familiar with using space-dyed, hand-painted, or rainbow-dyed yarns. You may have already tried mixing different fibers, colors, and textures in a single project. Now you're thinking how exciting it would be to dye your own yarns and not be limited to knitting just with what's available commercially. You can! With Elaine Eskesen at your elbow, sharing her years of experience, you'll soon be creating your own gorgeous and unique hand-dyed skeins using the fibers of your choice: wool, silk, alpaca, and more.

Authors: Ann Diepolder, Karoline Hoffmeister, Sabine Abel
Learn to Make Cute and Cozy Footwear for All Ages
Felted pieces are more ridged, longer lasting, and more structured than traditional knit pieces, making the process ideal for creating customized, comfortable slippers. And better yet -- they are easy to make because they are knitted in a similar way to socks, only oversized -- with large needles and then felted in the washing machine.
In Knitting and Felting Slippers, authors Sabine Abel, Annette Diepolder, and Karoline Hoffmeister guide you through the process to create 23 charming felt slippers for adults and children with well-detailed techniques, step-by-step instructions, and finishing details including heel seaming and cap heeled slippers.
Once the slippers have been knitted, the washing machine does the rest of the work. The hot water and agitation cause the fibers to become matted and shrunk to the appropriate size.

Many quiltmakers would love to be able to machine quilt their quilts. Machine quilting at home on a domestic sewing machine is faster than hand quilting and cheaper than sending quilt tops to longarm machinists. It also allows quiltmakers to complete every step involved in making their quilt.
Eva Larkin set out to teach herself the secrets not only of machine quilting, but also of creating quilting designs that didn't need to be marked on the quilt top and weren't just overall meandering or stitching in the ditch. Within a year, she was teaching others what she'd learned, and this book captures much of what she has passed on in those workshop classes.
The book is presented in the style of a workshop with exercises for readers to practice what they've learned. At the heart of the book are eight basic designs, each of which has at least five variations. Each design is relatively simple to stitch without hours of practice or any time spent marking the quilt top. Samples are shown.
Larkin has also included a chapter on how to decide how to quilt your quilt, which many readers, I m sure, will find enormously helpful. She provides a systematic approach along with a gallery of designs to inspire.

The author spent four summers (1930–33) living and working among the Navajo, during which time she learned the principles of weaving. In this book she takes readers through the same process, introducing the careful details, the personalities she encountered, and the materials and methods of weaving in the Navajo style.
The spinning of the yarn, the dyes, the equipment, the weaving processes, the designs and colors, even the tensions and textures of the final product are all part of weaving a Navajo blanket. The author guides readers through each step, from choosing the wool through carding and spinning warp and weft yarns, building and setting up a loom, creating a design, and carrying out the actual weaving. Although the emphasis is on typical blanket weaving, the author also covers the related arts of saddleblanket weaving, warp weaving, scalloped edge weaving, double-faced weaving, and sandpainting tapestries. She also comments on history, patterns, symbolism, the effect of the market, and other matters that affect the Navajo weaving style. In five appendixes she reviews the implements and materials of weaving, Navajo materials for natural dyes, weaving terms, and simple lessons in learning to weave a Navajo blanket. Nearly 100 photographs and line drawings illustrate the processes and finished work.
Crafters, whether they want to start from scratch or gradually add Navajo elements to their other weaving skills, will learn from this book the authentic steps of Navajo weaving. Collectors, ethnologists, and others will learn more about materials, techniques, and related matters that will help them in judging, appraising, and enjoying the processes that go into weaving a Navajo blanket.
