Beyond Knit & Purl by Kate Atherley is the latest release from Cooperative Press (cooperativepress.com).
FROM THE BACK COVER:
Does your knitting measure up? Let Kate Atherley take you to the next level with Beyond Knit & Purl, new from
Cooperative Press. As a technical editor—and more importantly—as a teacher, Kate knows where knitters hit
roadblocks and how to overcome them, and she shares her many years of experience in this book.
Confused about increases or decreases? What’s ease? If you’ve only knitted dishcloths, are you ready to move on
to socks or should you try something else first? What does “decrease stitches evenly across” actually mean in
practice? Do you need some Dirty Secrets or Knitterly Advice? (there are plenty of both scattered throughout the
book’s pages). Or do you need some help choosing the right pattern for you? This and much, much more are in
the book.
The amazing how-to photos by Caro Sheridan clearly demonstrate techniques so you can follow along as needed,
and there are great patterns spread throughout to support the educational material ranging from ultra-simple
dishcloths up to shawls, socks and other garments.
Kate Atherley is a wise knitter, a gifted teacher and a goldmine of information. Beyond Knit & Purl is like
having her personal guidance as she shows us all, experienced as well as newer knitters, how to improve our
skills. It’s like Kate is sitting alongside demonstrating not only the techniques but telling us the secrets that
make knitting fun.
— Fiona Ellis, knitting author and designer
