The Twisted Sisters Knit Sweaters

August 1, 2007
The "Twisted Sisters" who inspired this bookalong with Vogel's "The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook"originated as a Portland, OR, group of handspinners that dyes and knits using its own handspun yarns. Taking the form of a self-paced workshop, this practical guide to knitwear design, like Ann Budd's "The Knitter's Handy Guide to Sweater Patterns", teaches sweater-knitting techniques to be used with any yarn or body type. But it goes even further, instructing readers on doing the math and working from a list of measurements called a fitter list, which records all key sweater measurements and is the basis of the sweater map (an annotated knitting schematic). Essential for libraries with strong knitting collections.
