Increase, Decrease, 99 Step-by-Step Methods by Judith Durant Judith is the best selling author of all of the One Skein Wonder Series which I LOVE and have all 6 of them! This book is just as concise, thorough, with extreme attention to details, and we all know how important it is how to and where to use the right increases or decreases. Appropriate techniques are shown for shaping sleeves and necklines, for lace shaping, increasing from the center, for decreasing the tops of hats and more. The photographs show swatches with easy to follow methods explained using step by step guides. This is a valuable book to have on your shelf, with 99 methods to help every project you make. We have a copy of the book to give away, see below for sweepstakes details. We would like to congratulate Yarns by Design on celebrating their 10 Year anniversary! They are just one of the shops participating in the Steel Valley Yarn Crawl, July 29th-August 7, 2016. Make sure to stop by and support your local yarn stores in the crawl! With Warm Regards,
