This book is all about using color-lots of it. Knitters Bourgault and Evans cover four principal methods of working with color in knitting: stripes, intarsia (picture knitting), Fair Isle (stranding different colors across the row), and surface embellishment. They illustrate these methods with 25 "teaching pieces." Budding graphic knitwear designers will appreciate the sections devoted to embellishment ideas, converting photos to graphic knits, and design and pattern sources, while knitters with basic skills will be able to take their craft to a new creative level. An excellent choice for large public libraries and art textile collections. - Library Journal December, 2006
