Debbie Bliss

I borrowed this book from the library because I had three problems I needed solved and insufficient internet access to consult YouTube: creating an I-cord border around a blanket, improving my darning technique, and grafting a mend in garter stitch. Debbie B told me how to bind off in I-cord (not useful on a 24 square blanket) and how to graft a mend in stockinette stitch. As for the darning, she shows purely the weaving technique and even the diagram looks messy. It’s nice that she covers mending at all (Hiatt doesn’t, she considers that only creating a knitted piece is within her remit; although she does tell you how to graft garter stitch!), and Bliss does have lots of information, but not what I needed—and the i-cord thing is actually pretty basic.… (plus d'informations)
