DOMINO
KNITTING
by Vivian Hoxbro Price: $16.95
Domino
is the name given to a technique that builds small knitted
modular squares and triangles on short, wooden (8")
needles, that are then woven in as you go. Domino knitting
is less stressful than other kinds of knitting on the arms
and shoulders, which may perhaps be a blessing to those
with muscular weakness who may have had to give up traditional
knitting. Easy projects let you create attractive headbands
and several interesting potholders as you learn, and then
you progress to a lovely shawl, throws pillows or table
runner and a smart denim-yarn backpack.
