ReviewsKnitty.com December 2020 Wow, wow, wow! This book knocked my handknitted, but not embroidered (yet) socks off. Britt-Marie Christifferson has been using knitting as her design medium of choice since the late 1970s. Embroidery on Knitting is a portion of the third part of an ongoing design project, that stretch the idea of what can be done with design and knitting. There are more than more than 250 ideas for embroidering knitted fabric whittled down from 481. This book is packed with creative jumping off points. There are only four written pages, about her on-going knitting project, how she works, her inspiration, and the materials she uses for her knitting and embroidery. The rest of the book are brief illustrations of stitch styles and enough inspiration to shift your thinking about embellishing knitting. It has me reimagining knitting completely - the serotonin bomb of knitting stockinette or garter stitch followed by a creative foray into embellishing. I'm going to start by using some of her ideas for mending. I have an men's LLBean wool cardigan that I have worn ragged. It has holes to mend and this book will help give it an overall boost in flavor.

With the emphasis on encouraging readers to follow their own creative path, this book provides a wonderful fusion of clear information with the inspiration to create your own uniquely stunning designs.

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 knitwork can involve knitting a new piece to be embroidered, but it can also be interesting to give a new look to existing clothing - perhaps to a piece that has seen better days. Even commercially produced sweaters, hats and mittens can be embellished with a needle and yarn. 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 exactly as you wish. Any knitted item can be enhanced, and if you tire of the embroidery you can simply unstitch it!
