The Fourteen-Minute Marcel Proust: Everyone’s guide to the greatest novel ever written (Kindle Edition)

March 27th, 2010

The Fourteen-Minute Marcel Proust: Everyone's guide to the greatest novel ever written

Product Description

Today it’s called ‘In Search of Lost Time’. Early in the last century it was ‘Remembrance of Things Past’. Under whatever title, and whichever translator, Proust’s gargantuan novel has baffled American readers for more than eighty years. Over the course of a year, Daniel Ford tackled the recent and lovely Penguin/Viking editions, blogging on the internet as he read. He devotes a short chapter to each of the novel’s seven books, introducing it with a two-minute plot synoposis–thus the fourteen minutes of the title. More than that, he ruminates on one or more of its highlights, compares the Penguin/Viking translations with the classic ones based on the work of C. K. Scott Moncrieff, and–gotcha!–points to errors in the text or translation. About 7,500 words.

The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques (Kindle Edition)

October 25th, 2009

The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques

Product Description

At times, a single, perfect color is just what a new knitting project needs. But more often than not, the creative knitter envisions exciting color palettes that make her handmade hat unique or add special meaning to a gift for a loved one. Adding fabulous color combinations to a handknit item can be as simple as working with multicolor yarn or as intricate as applying the technical concepts of knitting intarsia.

Knitting teacher and author Margaret Radcliffe presents a world of color techniques in a single comprehensive reference that knitters will consult every time two or more yarn colors are in play. Stitchers of every ability — from the determined beginner in need of clear instructions to the experienced crafter ready to take on a new challenge — will benefit from the color-combining methods and handy tips and secrets revealed in The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques.

Multicolor knitting techniques are explained with step-by-step illustrations and photographs accompanied by instructive text. Complete chapters on stripes, stitch effects, knitting with multicolor yarns, stranded knitting, and intarsia cover the general theory and how-to behind each method as well as creative solutions for handling tangled yarn, estimating yarn quantities of each color, handling all those ends, and stunning finishing techniques. An additional chapter describes less common techniques such as helix, shadow, mosaic, and modular knitting.

Whether the goal is a softly striped throw in nursery pastels, a pair of cozy socks in team colors, or a sophisticated cashmere wrap in a jewellike pattern, The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques has all the answers for adventurous knitters.




About the Author

Margaret Radcliffe is the author of the best-selling The Knitting Answer Book. In addition to writing about knitting, Radcliffe designs sweaters, teaches knitting techniques, and lectures on knitting.
