Re-think Knitwear with Kristin Omdahl

You've seen her on Knitting Daily TV as the Crochet Corner expert. Now Kristin Omdahl brings her signature designs and techniques to knitwear in 18 patterns for wraps, scarves, and skirts in A Knitting Wrapsody.

Kristin brings a unique point of view to knitting by incorporating crochet influences and motifs into the projects. A Knitting Wrapsody offers new ways to think about shape, silhouette, as well as great new techniques that make each project fun to knit.

A Knitting Wrapsody

Innovative Designs to Wrap, Drape, and Tie

Kristin Omdahl

136 pages; 1-hour DVD

A Knitting Wrapsody goes beyond your usual scarves and shawls.

As she mentioned in yesterday's Knitting Daily newsletter, Kristin's designs draw from the geometry, motifs, and techniques of crochet, among other crafts like weaving and embroidery, but are translated into knitting. The patterns use lots of unexpected elements to make each one unique, like the Lelani Flower Motif Shawl with its crochet-inspired back.

The other garments incorporate more exciting elements such as reversible stitch patterns, unique edgings, and interesting closures. Plus, the projects are versatile, and many can be worn in different ways depending on how you choose to drape and tie them.

Some of the designs use interesting and unusual techniques, and you can learn how to do each of them on the instructional DVD included with the book. Watch as Kristin demonstrates each step of the technique before casting on and getting started on your own.
