50 Fabulous Knit Garter Stitches (Leisure Arts #4926)

If you think garter stitch is boring, with rows and rows of just one knit stitch after another, this new book from Rita Weiss is about to change your mind. Her collection of 50 fabulous knit garter stitches shows that garter stitch has many dimensions and many disguises. It can be used to make lace, ripples, mosaic designs, ribbings, and more. In fact, without using a purl stitch, garter stitch can even be made to look just like stockinette. All of the interesting stitches in this book are created by using only a knit stitch, yet they are fun to make and will add a new dimension to your knitting. You may find it hard to believe, but not one of these stitches uses a purl!
