The twenty projects include cosy cardigans, irresistible sweaters and tops, beautiful blankets, and a gorgeous double breasted cashmere coat, and can all be made using just a few simple techniques which are fully explained right from the start. Each project is knitted in beautiful, classic, yarns that are not only soft and gentle against young skin, but are also practical in that they are easy to wash and care for. The projects in this book are simple enough to enable new knitters to create something very special, such as a cute striped hat and ribbon-tie bootees. The introduction contains all the basic know-how to get you started, from choosing the correct yarn, to casting on and key stitches. As novice knitters gain in confidence, they, along with more experienced knitters, will enjoy further techniques, such as colourwork, edging and cabling.

Based around a trio of core baby items - blankets, teddy bears and bootees - Debbie Bliss has designed a range of nursery accessories, cuddly toys and garments. Combining the softest luxury yarns with irresistible designs, she has created a truly desirable collection of hand knits for the newborn baby. A snug blanket is a must-have baby accessory and Debbie has included a choice of seven different styles. Each project is a beautiful design in its own right, whilst others can be made to accompany another project - for example, the garter stitch Striped Blanket is a wonderfully simple piece to knit but to make it extra special you can accompany it with the Striped Mouse. Likewise, you could team the Blanket Stitch Blanket with the matching bootees and toy bunny. Debbie has created a collection of exquisite toys that would take pride of place in any child's toybox - from the quintessential teddy bear to wonderfully tactile Building Blocks and a Little Bird toy that echoes the design of a squidgy, soft Big Bird Beanbag. The book is illustrated with over 75 colour photographs from leading children's fashion photographer Ulla Nyeman.

Each of the projects in The Knitter's Year has been designed to be made in a week or less, with some being as quick to knit up as a rainy afternoon or a couple of evenings. Designs include homewares, accessories and things to wear. They range from a sumptuous yet simple chunky scarf, which takes a few balls of yarn, to the adorable Easter-bunny egg cosies, which can be made using remnants of yarn leftover from larger projects. Divided into the four seasons, the book features spring-time ideas such as a floral corsage and some fingerless gloves, plus homeware items including a shelf edging and lacy bolster cushion. Following are summery projects like a beach bag, simple tank and string shopping bag. Moving into Autumn, Debbie gives ideas for a back-to-school iPod cover and simple beret and scarf. Finally Winter, where knits really come into their own with snug socks, slippers, and even ideas for Christmas gifts and tree decorations. The collection provides a blissful year of inspiration from a leading knitter to either make for yourself or to give as a special gift.

Having brought up two children of her own, Debbie is all too aware of the practical aspects of designing for babies and children. The Ultimate Book of Baby Knits is a charming collection of practical, yet beautiful, hand-knit garments, toys and other nursery essentials that will delight every new parent and their baby. To make up this compendium, Debbie Bliss has selected her 50 favourite projects from her three most recent books to provide a core collection not just for newborn babies but also for toddlers up until the age of two years. Catering to all your baby's knitwear needs, this collection includes everything from the quintessential baby blankets, teddy bears and bootees through to a hooded wrap, snug duffel coat and felted slippers. All 50 projects are knitted in beautiful, classic yarns that are not only soft and gentle against a young skin, but are also low-maintenance in that they are easy to wash and care for, to ensure that baby is kept wonderfully snug and cosseted right through its first stages in life. The Ultimate Book of Baby Knits is the perfect project book for anyone struggling to find smart contemporary knitwear designs for their baby or toddler.

Her er bogen om strik, som ikke går af mode. Det ikke en opskriftsamling, men en gennemgang af alle teknikker, man kan tænkes at have brug for, når man arbejder med garn. Bogen er tung og smuk med sine 320 sider, og alle teknikker er illustreret med tydelige tegninger. Den begynder med de grundlæggende færdigheder og behandler derefter blandt andet garnvalg og værktøj, forskellige lokale strikketeknikker, udvikling af egne design og farvesammensætninger samt alle teknikker til at slå op, lukke af, tage ind og ud, sy sammen, strikke mønster, forme, pynte og ikke mindst rette fejl og redde nødsituationer. Kort og godt et værk, man vil konsultere igen og igen, og som vil følge en gennem hele livet.

Kun jo hallitset neulonnan perusteet ja haluat oppia lisää. Koulun käsityötunneilla käyneet osaavat oikeat ja nurjat silmukat ja muut neulonnan perustekniikat, mutta harvempi rohkenee tarttua vaativampiin malleihin. Maailmankuulu neulesuunnittelija Debbie Bliss jakaa upeassa kirjassaan osaamistaan ja parhaita tekniikkavinkkejään neulojalle, joka haluaa edetä taidoissaan seuraavalle tasolle: neuloa kolmiulotteista pintaa, yhdistellä värejä kirjoneuleiksi ja koota neuleen kuin ammattilainen. Neulekoulu palvelee kokenuttakin neulojaa monipuolisena käsikirjana, jonka ohjeiden pariin voi palata yhä uudelleen. Se kannustaa luovuuteen ja omien mallien suunnitteluun sekä opastaa idean jalostamisessa ohjeeksi ja edelleen valmiiksi vaatteeksi tai sisustusneuleeksi.
