  <default_description>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;I&gt;&quot;For me, the design has to be intentional...so that both sides are beautiful and balanced . . . If both knitted sides are similar&#8212;or even completely different from each other&#8212;the piece is reversible in a way that much, if not most, knitwear is not. Either side can be public.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&#160;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;What a winning combination: celebrated author Iris Schreier, 24 exquisite projects, and dozens of in-demand techniques that result in garments that look great on both sides. Using knit/purl, two-color, double knitting, cable, lace, and modular knitting methods, Iris creates beautiful shrugs, shawls, scarves, throws, hats, socks, and more. Some of the items actually have different looks on the front and back while others simply show the same clean, finished fabric throughout. Iris walks novices through all the essentials, then shares modern adaptations of classic stitches, illuminated by photos of hand-knitted swatches. As a bonus, there&#8217;s a super-handy yarn substitution chart and an appendix with extra variations for advanced knitters. Knitters of all skill levels can now achieve true &#8220;revers-atility&#8221;!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&#160;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&#160;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&#160;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It pains me to write this review, normally I'd just skip the book over and hope my silence made some sort of point, but I feel I must. I was incredibly disappointed in this book. The photos are generally horrid-- most are quite blurry-- and the example swatches look like as if they were cast-off mom...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76534044">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I should start off by saying I don't really even get why anyone would do one of the two techniques described in this book. One technique, making a fabric that just looks good on both sides by how you stitch, that makes sense and is why I picked up the book. The other, double-stitching where you have...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58033196">more...</a>]]></body>
