Stackpole Books Easy Knits for Beautiful Yarns: 21 Shawls, Hats, Sweaters & More Designed to Showcase Special Yarns
Drawn to a beautiful, unique yarn, but not sure what to do with it? Look no further. Gorgeous hand-dyed, variegated, self-striping, speckled, and other fun yarns abound for the knitter today, but sometimes the colour variations and changes can make it difficult to find patterns that allow the yarn to shine. The simpler the pattern, the more the yarn gets to take centre stage. With this in mind, Toby designed all of the pieces in this book - hats, shawls, mittens, sweaters, and more - to let the yarn be the main feature. The 25 designs are written at a level for the motivated knitter who has made a scarf or two and is ready to move on to something a little more interesting and unique. Sidebars with photos and notes explain techniques that may be unfamiliar to beginners so that you can fearlessly make any piece. More experienced knitters can relax into these patterns and enjoy their showcase yarn as it slides along their needles and becomes a masterpiece of colour.

Stackpole Books Design Doubles: Knitting Patterns for Shawl and Sweater Pairs
A gorgeous color or texture pattern beckons to a designer to try it out in different ways. Should it be used for a hat, a sweater, a cape? In this book, designer Toby Roxane Barna allowed her imagination to explore the variations and came up with pairs of designs—a sweater and a shawl—sharing at least one similar design element. For example, a lace pattern from a shawl may be used to form the yoke of a sweater or a button band and hem on a cardigan. An expert in using color to maximize the “wow” factor, Toby has outdone herself with this exquisite pattern collection.
