Here's a fresh take on the crafts of rugmaking and knitting-the very first book of its kind. These stylish rug projects are so eye-catching that it's hard to believe that even novices can create them. But they can, thanks to a sumptuously illustrated and thorough section on knitting basics; advice on embellishments, including embroidery; and instruction on finishing touches, from weaving ends to lining. Put this knowledge to work on a multicolored Big Needle Garter Stitch Rug, Knit and Purl Oval Rug, Thunderbird Wall Tapestry, and others. Every rug is photographed in a home setting, and includes patterns and ideas for modifying the design.

"Offers more than an attractive collection of patterns. [It] includes a history of knitted floor coverings...a tutorial, and a manual on a variety of knitting techniques."--Interweave

"...an excellent introduction ....Even some of the more spectacular rugs...are suitable for beginning knitters. Warmly recommended..."--Library Journal
