Short Row Knits: A Master Workshop with 20 Learn-as-You-Knit Projects

Book arrived in excellent condition. Exactly as described - great tutorial on the many short rows and great patterns to go along. This author always hits the mark! Clearly written instructions with clear diagrams.

I love this book! The explanations for both the tutorials and the patterns are fantastic. This serves as a great companion to Carol Feller's short rows Craftsy class. However, even if you have not taken the class, this book is pretty self explanatory. Since I am someone who learns by doing, what I value most is the wonderful selection of patterns. Most books do not seem to have as wide of a variety of patterns as this book does. It contains everything from simple shawl patterns to larger items, such as sweaters. By working through the patterns, you get multiple opportunities to utilize various techniques and uses for short rows. I have already completed one pattern, am almost ready to finish another, and have a number of additional patterns in my queue. Thus, I have gotten my money's worth and more from this book!

I wanted to expand my short row vocabulary as I am always changing knitting patterns. Carol Feller is the goddess of short rows. Her book presents great illustrations of each type of short row and stylish practice projects.

Great book.I like the short row for the bust and the hem.

This is a fabulous book. I saw Carol Feller in episode 80 of Fruity Knitting last week and was motivated to get this and I’m sure glad I did. Carol has a clear way of explaining Short Rows.

Many nice patterns and good instructions for using short rows for better shaping. A few outlandish patterns I would never care to knit. Good technical information, which is what I wanted, when I bought the book.

Purchased the book for description of short row technique, not necessarily the patterns included. Text has lengthy description of various types of short row knitting that turned out to be a little complicated. I did find a much easier technique on-line. The author encourages making swatches first of each technique and keeping as a reference. I think that would be a very good idea. Don't try these methods, for the first time, when you are already into a project.

I'm not crazy about all the patterns, but I learned a few new techniques.

Awesome patterns ver

Per me le short rows/ ferri accorciati sono una sfida! Questo libro mostra varii metodi e progetti di diverso livello di difficoltà. Veramente spiegato bene e progetti carini! Spedizione come sempre impeccabile!

Libro molto utile per imparare 4 tecniche di ferri accorciati. Il testo - in inglese - con belle illustrazioni, fornisce 20 modelli per eseguire e mettere in pratica 4 tipi di ferri accorciati: avvolgi e gira; con gettato; alla tedesca e giapponesi. E' molto chiaro nella parte tecnica di insegnamento e i modelli proposti sono i classici senza tempo (pullover, scaldacollo, sciarpe, berretti, cardigan ecc....). Lo consiglio molto volentieri

I love, love this book. I have no idea how to do short rows and this book clearly demonstrates it - so once I have figured out how to do it, I am definitely going to knit up two of the sweater patterns and the bag!Beautiful pictures and detailed patterns - perfect, although word to the wise - most of these patterns are labelled as "for intermediate".

Highest recommendation! I've knit a fair number of Carol's designs now and have taken her on-line courses and she is consistently a kind, intelligent and thorough teacher, my favorite instructor, in fact. Short rows are no longer a mystery to me - which is a bit of a miracle :-) and never once, while learning this versatile and very useful technique did she ever make me feel "stupid" in the process.Also...one of my favorite designs of all time is in this book! Jimenez! It's beautiful! And the yarn has been ordered! (Be still my beating heart!!)I'm certain that this book will quickly become a classic, one that sits on every serious knitter's Special Bookshelf. Over this past summer, I have been poring over knitting technique books taken out from the library. I am trying not to buy books to own (in every subject, not just knitting) because I have about 10,000,000 books here at home, many still to be studied, my walls are loaded....but I knew THIS one I needed to own. Like ALL of Carol Feller's work, this is top quality and unique. Cheers (and hope you buy the book! : )
