Modern Daily Knitting Field Guides are little books that explore the big world of knitting, with patterns and storeis to inspire the curious knitter.
With Field Guide No. 18: Beginnings, we celebrate the idea of a new start, that joy that comes when trying something for the first time. We have had the best time working with Karida Collins on this idea of newness, and especially the idea that sometimes, the simplest projects are the most delightful.
These projects require nothing more than knit, purl, decrease, increase, and yarnover. There’s a simple cable in there, too, and that’s as fancy as it gets. But look at what amazing effects can come from these most basic of stitches.
Knitting is forever new—each project has its own moment when we decide we’re going to jump in. Have a look at these six ideas—there’s endless fun to be had here.
