Library Journal Review

Entrelac-a knitting technique in which the fabric is formed by knitting textured blocks-can be addictive. In the sequel to her popular primer, Entrelac, Drysdale takes the technique a step further, incorporating lace, cables, and colorwork into the blocks. She begins with an overview of the basics, followed by a series of entrelac stitches that go well beyond these fundamentals. An extensive exploration of shape using the technique follows, featuring a variety of star shapes as well as zigzags and braids. The final section of the book is a collection of patterns featuring entrelac, including both garments and accessories in bold styles. Some of the stitch-and-garment pairings are a little offbeat-entrelac openwork doesn't lend itself very well to a sweater-but there are some interesting uses of the craft in several of the accessory patterns. VERDICT Beginners should probably start with Drysdale's introductory text, which explains the basics of the technique in thorough detail, but entrelac enthusiasts will discover plenty here to take their knitting to the next level.
