Use Stitch Library as a guide to making your own unique knitted pieces, whether you are creating beautiful garments, useful accessories or stylish adornments for your home. The Stitch Library chapter begins with simple but effective knit and purl stitches that add subtle texture to a plain garment. These include traditional Gansey (or Guernsey) patterns, with advice on how to use them to design your own classic sweaters. Using texture stitches, cable panels and fabrics, and embossed fabrics, you can make up more tactile and three-dimensional pieces. Elegant colour patterns can be created using slip stitches, dip stitches and stripes. For openwork pieces, you will find lace stitches and panels, together with eyelets and drop stitch patterns.

The projects section will give you a range of ideas about how to use the stitches, with suggestions for designing your own versions. Use the projects to inspire you; the Cable Throw could just as easily be worked in panels of lace or texture stitches. The Making Waves scarf shows how a simple wave stitch can be worked in two yarns for a stunning effect. From a colourful patchwork cushion to a cashmere four-piece set and a pretty, feminine lace bag, there is a variety of creative projects. It's All in the Details chapter takes your through the basics of knit and purl stitch, how to cast on and bind off, increasing and decreasing stitches and more, so it is worth reading this before you pick up your needles to begin. Each stitch has full instructions and a clear stitch chart where appropriate, making it easier to see how to work each row. Use the charts together with the keys, along with advice on how to use the charts. Experiment with the stitches, try something new, mix them up and create your own style.

The legendary Shonen Jump series, now available in English for the first time, in a deluxe edition featuring color pages and newly drawn cover art! JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a groundbreaking manga famous for its outlandish characters, wild humor and frenetic battles. A multigenerational tale of the heroic Joestar family and their never-ending battle against evil In this landmark work, NEW YORKER columnist James Surowiecki explores a seemingly counter-intuitive idea that has profound implications. Decisions taken by a large group, even if the individuals within the group aren't smart, are always better than decisions made by small numbers of 'experts'. This seemingly simply notion has endless and major ramifications for how businesses operate, how knowledge is advanced, how economies are (or should be) organised and how nation-states fare. With great erudition, Surowiecki ranges across the disciplines of psychology, economics, statistics and history to show just how this principle operates in the real world. Along the way Surowiecki asks a number of intriguing questions about a subject few of us actually understand - economics. What are prices? How does money work? Why do we have corporations? Does advertising work? His answers, rendered in a delightfully clear prose, Stitch Library: Over 200 Stitches for Knitters of All Abilities free ebook demystify daunting prospects. As Surowiecki writes: 'The hero of this book is, in a curious sense, an idea, a hero whose story ends up shedding dramatic new light on the landscapes of business, politics and society'.
