The award winning designer and author of this designer knitwear machine knitting pattern book, Marianne Henio, has been machine knitting for almost 30 years now, ever since she resigned from her career to have a family. She has designed and sold many individually made bespoke pieces during this time. Marianne is passionate about being able to visualise a design, create the pattern and then produce the finished piece of knitwear. This has kept her in the industry for all these years and now she is sharing her knowledge in this field with you.
If you look at the cat walks and see what is being produced by top designers in the genre of knitwear today, you can’t help but be inspired. The art of machine knitwear design today has certainly come a long way since the 1980s images which always appeared rather dull and dated.
Marianne uses a standard gauge Brother KH891 punch card knitting machine with a ribber. The yarns used for her patterns in this book have been specified, but gauge guides are given so that alternative yarns can be used dependant on your choice and source. The patterns range from a Size 10/12 upwards to One Size patterns, but are simple enough to adjust if need be. The punch card designs used are the standard Brother designs which can easily be transferred to suit your machine.
Marianne creates designs which suit all ages. They are sophisticated in style, but very simple to knit for the beginner in machine knitting. Her instructions are easy to follow and concise and she has included photo instructions for you too. All the designs are available separately as single designs. Marianne has included a variety of ideas in this book which can be mixed and matched. They are a culmination of some of her favourite designs this season. A further book will be released shortly for some of her new summer designs.
