Scarves are often the first garments beginning knitters try. Then, when they feel ready for a greater creative thrill, they move on to other types of garments. In "Knitting New Scarves", Lynne Barr beckons all levels of knitters back to their humble beginnings and then wows them with 27 spectacularly modern designs, each created using an innovative new technique or a unique take on a traditional one. This novel approach, which dares knitters to rethink what is possible by simply manipulating knits and purls, leads to a collection of flattering, functional, and fun-to-make accessories. Imagine a scarf that looks like a strand of black pearls or unfolds like an accordion, one that playfully draws inspiration from the famed Chanel jacket or a twisting futuristic high-rise. Every scarf is shown in its finished form in beautiful still-lifes by photographer Tyllie Barbosa, and, when unusual techniques are called for, up-close step-by-step photos are provided as well.

Jane Seymour

Actress and designer Jane Seymour uses her home as a canvas to bring her designs to life in this richly photographed tour. She literally takes the reader through her house, beginning with the entryway and working her way through each of the rooms. Using a palette of five colors each for themes such as denim, asian and family, Seymour shows how easy it is to incorporate a handful of colors throughout a room to create a warm and unique feel. Those with a shaky design hand will take comfort in Seymour's knack for arrangements, as she packs the book with tips for everything from artfully displaying antique china to creating beaded napkin rings. Virtually all her projects are quick and easy and will add a touch of color to most rooms. The beauty shots of her family and surroundings are a bit gratuitous, but her budget-minded tips and eye for composition are sure to give novice designers the techniques and the confidence to express their own style.

Everyone can make stylish contemporary jewelry with ease! This beginner’s guide holds the key: simply take widely available manufactured metal parts (hollow tubes, solid rods, precut perforated sheets) and arrange them in repeating patterns that develop into complex designs. The techniques—filing, drilling, piercing, cold connecting, soldering—are simple, and step-by-step photos capture every essential stage of the construction process. Today’s most innovative designers, including Christine Dhein, Kristin Lora, and Amy Tavern, contribute to the 25 projects, and the variety of metals and colors showcased in their pieces yield stunning results. From Victoria Cho’s very kinetic “Guitar String Stickpin” to Joanna Gollberg’s magnificent cerulean and gold necklace, it’s clear the modular possibilities are endless!
