New Giveaway: 201 Knitting Motifs, Blocks, Projects & Ideas

July 11, 2013 by AllFreeKnitting 4 Comments

For anyone looking for inspiration for their next project, Niki Trench’s 201 Knitting Motifs, Blocks, Projects & Ideas is rife with possibilities.  This helpful companion is perfect for knitters who love creating afghans or who are interested in designing their own patterns.  The book is split into three sections—blocks, projects, and basic techniques.  Each section is full of fascinating ideas, gorgeous pictures, and helpful hints.  The blocks section is particularly well thought out; each block pattern has instructions, a chart, and a picture of the motif knitted up.  The pictures of the knitted motifs are particularly helpful, since charts can sometimes fail to communicate the way a pattern will really look when knitted.

The second half of the book puts the blocks patterns to work.  The patterns in 201 Knitting Motifs, Blocks, Projects & Ideas draw heavily on the motifs detailed in the first section of the book.  I enjoyed seeing how Trench utilized different motif ideas.  Looking at her work is a good way to figure out how to use the motifs in your own knitting.  The patterns cover a range of projects; afghans, gloves, and baby toys all make appearances in this fun book.

Ready to get knitting?  You can win a copy of 201 Knitting Motifs, Blocks, Projects & Ideas for yourself.  All you have to do is enter our contest by July 24, 2013, for a chance to win!

    I generally love lace stitches and cannot name a favorite one. For other knitting stitches, it’s hard to list a favorite because it depends upon the project. Howver I would consider the linen stitch as one of my favorites.

    I also would say the Cable Stitch. I’ve done them on afghans and get so many compliments and most people do not knit and do not expect to see them on afghans. They are use to sweaters they say, but not afghans… so I like do that and hearing their input.
