Domino Knitting and Knit to be Square by Vivian Høxbro




Both of these books concentrate on knitting basic square modules and contain clear instructions on how to produce them.
In the first book there are a lot of simple designs mainly using garter stitch modules, whereas the second book contains more ambitious projects including producing holes by not completing squares.  It also contains some very attractive designs for throws and stoles.
In Knit to be Square, knitters are encouraged to use wool so that they can felt their work.  This seems a good technique to use if you are making a bag and want it to be stronger.  It also creates an interesting effect when the modules appear to blend together.
Vivian has a website which can be found at www.viv.dk   I have tried to read it using Google translation but the result is rather odd.  However, I do recommend looking at the pictures!
