Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Barbara Walkerâs Knitting from the Top, originally published in 1972, is a treasure trove of inspiration about the technique of knitting garments from the top down (for example, knitting a sweater from the neck down to the hem or a hat from the crown down to the brim). In 2010, STC Craft published Kristina McGowanâs successful Modern Top-Down Knitting, a collection of fashion-conscious top-down designs inspired by Walkerâs book. Knitters not only loved the technique, which allows for easy, try-on-as-you-go custom fitting, but also applauded McGowanâs modern sense of style. For More Modern Top-Down Knitting, McGowan has dug even deeper into Walkerâs iconic workÂthis time challenging herself to design two garments based on each of Walkerâs 12 basic top-down templates. The results come together to form a fresh, stylish wardrobe that includes everything from sweaters and dresses to capes, skirts, hats, and even pants and shorts.
Praise for More Modern Top-Down Knitting:
ÂMore Modern Top-Down Knitting is a beautiful book, featuring exciting and eminently wearable designs for knitters who enjoy self-expression in their craft. The directions are precise but flexible; the garments are highly fashionable; and the pictures are glorious. I am especially delighted to be honored as an Âinspirationâ for Ms. McGowan; but indeed her own creativity is very much on display here. The book is a great gift for any knitter.â  ÂBarbara G. Walker, author of Knitting from the Top, the Knitting Treasuries, et al.
