Latvian Dreams

By Joyce Williams.

Knitting from Weaving Charts

Knitting and weaving seem like very separate textile arts, yet both are based on a grid. In fact, many traditional knitting patterns can be found in woven fabric. This book brings the grid together and shows us possibilities in knitting from weaving patterns that are at once mind-boggling to knit, yet totally captivating for intermediate level knitters and above. For the designer, this book will help dust off some cobwebs. Latvian Dreams includes many color photos, design considerations, excellent instruction and knitting directions, and many pages of weaving charts to use as ideas starters for creating your own knitting patterns from weaving drafts.
