Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Take your yarn for a walk," says author Jenny Dowde, who teaches the freeform "scrumbling" technique. With scrumbling, needleworkers can work unbound by patterns and yet still successfully knit or crochet a project. With just a range of simple stitches and only a few basic techniques, anyone can create lovely and useful household objects and eye-catching wearable art. Full-color photographs illustrate Dowde's methods in action, from completing both basic and advanced stitches to working with wires and beads, along with a host of special techniques, including constructing buttons, unusual closures, and special accents from polymer clay.
For experienced knitters and crocheters who like a challenge, the concept of scrumbling, ie working in a free-form manner, is easy to adapt to larger projects and to the creation of wearable art. There are many interesting special stitches that will help create unique fabrics. Also learn how to make individual buttons and closures.
Also known as scrumbling. Basic colour and design theory, creating kniwt and crochet fragments, 18 projects plus special effects, polymer clay closures, and a gallery of wearable art, jewelry and more.
