A few stitches trading places here and there, and suddenly flowing braids, interwoven figures of eight, or classic x-and-o patterns came to life before his eyes.</p> <p>In this compelling collection, available for the first time in English with US terminology and measurements, Asplund invites knitters to join him in exploring the possibilities, combining his grandmother's well-loved lessons in time-tested cabling techniques with the exquisite simplicity of modern Scandinavian style: </p> <ul> <li>Over 20 projects, ranging from sweaters, cardigans, and ponchos to scarves, wrist warmers, and hats-for children and adults.</li> <li>Attractive patterns showing off a balance of historic and modern elements, designed for superior fit.</li> <li>Step-by-step pattern instructions to guide novice cablers through straightforward reversible projects and eye-catching cable repeats.</li> <li>Larger, more complex garments with multiple cable patterns to let veterans test their skills.</li> <li>A tutorial section that explains the fundamentals of working and combining cables in any design to achieve a variety of striking effects.</li> </ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Knits for many sizes and ages are represented, from a playful children's poncho to a man's figure-eights vest. Valuable instructions are bundled at book's end: techniques, sample patterns, choosing materials. Tangled weaves make for striking knits. --<em><strong>Barbara Jacobs</strong><strong>, Booklist</strong></em></p><br>
