This book, the sequel to Hand-Manipulated Stitches for Machine Knitters, focuses mainly on the method of Bridging. Bridging is a use of holding position that gives the knitter total control over every single needle on the bed of the machine. It allows you to change stitch size mid-row, knit extra rows on specific needles and to interrupt the carriage mid-row to use the "free yarn" for textural and structural purposes. With bridging, huge cables cross effortlessley and deep, rich textures are a snap. Geared for intermediate knitters who have an understanding of their machines work. Full color with 170 pages, this book also includes patterns for some garments and accessories that utilize the techniques shown in the preceeding chapters.
