Description for Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible: 260 Exquisite Patterns by Hitomi Shida
Review 'Gayle Roehm's translation of noted designer Hitomi Shida's second stitch dictionary represents a sea change in the English-speaking world, because now we have a few words to help us through the standardized Japanese symbol system�think of it as opening a window into the way another culture designs and knits. And Shida's stitches? Like calligraphy: fluid, beautiful and complex.' �Vogue Knitting'In the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible, Hitomi Shida's stunning and original designs have been lovingly translated into English by Gayle Roehm. Step-by-step diagrams will teach you the methods used in Japanese knitting and offer a handful of projects to try out the techniques involved. Clear and concise charted patterns in this 160-page book are paired with photographed examples, making ideal translations of Shida's creations, which for many knitters, have remained elusive�until now!' �PurlSoho.com'You will be stunned by the complexity and beauty of these unique motifs � and the intensity does not diminish as you page through the book. At the end is a section for Round Yokes, plus a section of dozens of astonishing edgings.' �Wool Gathering magazine'Roehm translates the imaginative work of Shida, one of Japan's best-known hand-knitting designers, into English for the first time. Shida gained an international following with the Japanese publication of a book of couture knitting patterns a decade ago, and here presents hundreds of other patterns, adding scallops, yokes, and edgings to her offerings � For intrepid knitters looking for a challenge, the pages of stunning stitches will prove well worth the effort.' �Publishers Weekly'This is mindful, challenging knitting at its best, and this translation opens up a world of Japanese knitting charts to English speakers.' �'Starred Review' Library Journal'If you've been knitting for a while, chances are you've stood in a bookshop and yelled, 'Why isn�t this Japanese pattern book available in a format I can read?' Gnash your teeth no more; renowned designer Hitomi Shida has gifted us with this holy grail of stitchery, newly translated into English.' �NORO Knitting Magazine'�experienced knitters will be tempted to give it a go after paging through the handsomely photographed knit swatches, each of which is accompanied by unlabeled charts. For those who want to jump right in, there are a few patterns for socks and a hat. A black-and-white photo section that shows how to knit the stitches concludes. A feast for the eyes, and perhaps the hands.' �Booklist'This is one of the most beautiful books about knitting we have ever seen, proving that knitting can be an exquisite art form as well as a way to produce humble clothing�' �The Knitter magazine Read more About the Author Hitomi Shida is a well-known Japanese designer of hundreds of original knitting stitches and knitted garments.
