look. It also provides patterns for vintage-style elements,
offering invaluable advice on mixing and matching
sleeves, necklines, and collars to create your own
designs. You can choose to add a bell-shaped, threequarter,
or ruffled sleeve to the same sweater body,

three different jumpers, all from the same basic pattern.

A Stitch in
Time: Heirloom
Knitting Skills
rita taylor
With a history that
can be traced back
to medieval Europe,
knitting was once the
preserve of wealthy
patrons. Over time, the
craft was taken up on
a more domestic scale,
and the various traditions
that developed have
since passed lovingly down through generations. In
this book, Rita Taylor explores the most lasting of these
knitting traditions. Heavily textured fishermen’s ganseys,
super-fine lace shawls, geometric colour-stranding and
all manner of bobbles, twists and cables can be found
here. Taylor discusses the origins and applications of six
main stitch types and offers 12 projects that feature her
favourites, as well as a library of over 150 stitch patterns.
