By Britt-Marie Christoffersson Prepare to be amazed by textile artist and pattern designer Britt-Marie Christoffersson's fantastic work and learn how to use embroidery to give knit ted garments a new lease of life. Using simple stitches such as running stitch, couching, blanket stitches and rya knots, Britt-Marie creates a wide variety of patterns that will inspire you to even more creativity. Embroidery on Knitting provides inspiration for embellishing all your hand-knit items, as well as commercially produced goods! It can also be fun to try out embroidering on different materials, including unconventional ones. If you wish to embroider knitted garments you can cover the whole item with stitches, or let a few strategically placed details work as a decoration. If there is a hole in the garment you can cover it with embroidery. Using the explanatory drawings in the book, you can renew and alter them exactly as you wish. Any knitted item can be enhanced, and if you tire of the embroidery you can simply unstitch it!Almost three hundred beautiful stitched items are shown, all displaying amazingly different effects that can be achieved on knitting with just a needle and a length of wool.
