Books by Alison Ellen

Written for the dedicated knitter, this volume offers fine detail of how knitting works, questioning and examining how stitches can influence and shape the fabric by pulling in, pulling up, and making it stretchy or firm, thick or thin.

Explaining the basics of the Hand Knitting techniques, this title explores knitting as a means of creating a textile rather than simply making a flat pattern, and encourages experimentation with unusual materials, as well as the more conventional knitting yarn.
