Jen and Jim Arnall-Culliford of AC Knitwear have a passion for teaching knitters new techniques clearly and simply. How confident are you when it comes to your knitting? When you see a pattern that uses an unfamiliar technique, do you dive straight in? Or do you find yourself knitting the same sorts of projects over and over again? There’s so much to be gained from learning something new, but all too often, people shy away from it. Confident Knitting: A Third Year of Techniques is designed to help you tackle new projects with, well, utmost confidence! This technique-based programme features twelve patterns, from twelve amazing designers supported with twelve photo and video tutorials – giving you twelve chances to find some new joy in your knitting! Confident Knitting follows a similar format to our previous books A Year of Techniques and Boost Your Knitting, but, like both of those publications, is a completely self-contained programme, so there’s no need to have already worked through any of our previous publications! Techniques covered in this book are: Amazing blocking Catching floats in colourwork Embroidering your knitting Folded hem Garter stitch short-row heel German twisted cast on for ribbing Grab stitches I-cord cast off Modular knitting Mosaic knitting Reversible cables Vikkel braids A Year of Techniques brings you 12 patterns and tutorials to upgrade your knitting skills. With projects from world-class designers accompanied by clear step-wise tutorials and online videos, there’s always something new to learn. Techniques covered in this book are: Afterthought heels and thumbs Garter stitch grafting Helical stripes Intarsia Judy’s magic cast on (both for starting closed tubes, and as a provisional cast on) Knitting on a border Mastering dominance in Fair Isle knitting Pinhole cast on (also known as Emily Ocker's circular cast on) Reading cables from charts Short rows Steeks Turning a heel
