Using Stitch Dictionaries As Design Aids // Casual Friday 2-43

Описание: Buy me a coffee on Ko-fi! https://www.ko-fi.com/roxannerichardson

In this week's podcast, I deliver part 5 of my Knitting Library Tour, and show you the stitch dictionaries and other knitting books I turn to most often when knitting textured patterns; I show examples of my designs where I have used or adapted patterns from stitch dictionaries; and I answer a question about how easy (or not) it is to reverse a sweater pattern knit bottom up and knit it top down, instead.
