Punch­nee­dle is a type of embrodery where the fab­ric is stretched over a hoop and then a spe­cial nee­dle is used to punch the fiber through the fab­ric, cre­at­ing loops.  The fin­ished results can resem­ble minia­ture hooked rugs but the pieces cre­ated are gen­er­ally quite small.The book cov­ers the tools and mat­te­ri­als requred.  Each tech­nique is illus­trated with a small sam­ple and instruc­tions so that you can include it in your own project.

“Treat your­self to a truly glam expe­ri­ence. All of the designs in the Glam Knits col­lec­tion show­case sin­fully lux­u­ri­ous yarn, mak­ing knit­ting the design of your choice a com­pletely indul­gent expe­ri­ence.”

The 25 pat­terns are fully illus­trated with detailed instruc­tion and pho­tographs.

Well that sounds pretty awe­some.

Phoenix Bess has released  a new book full of excit­ing pat­terns. Most of the pat­terns are for begin­ners and knit­ted in the round , and include instruc­tions for adjust­ing hem­lines, inseams, and waist­lines to get the per­fect fit for any body type. Divided into four chap­ters — Work­ing, Relax­ing, Recre­at­ing, and Cel­e­brat­ing—It Girl Knits even fea­tures a color chart to help you mix and match yarns and side­bars on how to add optional designer details and put together an out­fit that best shows off your newly‐knitted trea­sure.
