Mid-Gauge Mastery
Book and 2DVDs by Diana Sullivan
Book and DVD Set with thirteen project patterns. The two DVDs contain 5 hours of detailed knitting instructions to make terrific projects on your mid-gauge knitting machine.
This is a progressive project book. If you want to learn to knit or teach a friend to knit, work these projects in order. The easiest projects are at the beginning of the book and the patterns get more complex and introduce more interesting techniques as you go.
The book starts with three afghans - a baby blanket with a super-easy clever edging and join technique, and then a fancier baby blanket with the string-of-hearts join and edging the panels.  The third afghan is a great stash-buster, gift or charity project - it uses several thin, industrial cone yarns and a plying technique to quickly make a giant, "man-sized" afghan. The panels are joined using a beautiful sew-as-you-go cable join, and then the blanket is edged with a cable edging.
Next, for a fast and addictive project, whip up colorful, sparkly kitchen scrubbies using Red Heart Scrubby yarn. You won't believe how fast these make up, and it's a good thing, too, because once you give some away you will be asked to make more.
The Diagonal Mid-Gauge Scarf is a warm, doubled scarf made with an easy but very interesting bias technique. With this little project, you can learn seaming and grafting. Diana made hers with a beautiful self-striping alpaca-blend yarn, which results in bias striping patterns without any extra ends to hide.
Get experience hand-tooling lace on the mid-gauge and make the warm Lace Edge Shawl. It is a generously sized triangle shawl with remarkably perfect-looking point where the lace turns the corner! It also features an easy built-in rolled edge.
Lots of readers have asked for Baby Pants, and here they are. This is a fast, easy little project and really rounds out a baby gift when you combine it with the hat and sweater. Check out the girly version with scalloped hems.
The Baby Raglan Pullover is quickly made. It covers most of the techniques you'd need to make any pullover sweater, plus three neckline options - a lapped neckline, a mitered neckline, and a scalloped collar neckline to go with the girly baby pants.
The Earflap Hat, with baby to adult sizes, has a doubled, short-rowed earflap to keep ears warm. There are two options for smooth crown shaping, a garter bar method or a faster needle-out-of-work method.
The Baby Kitty Hat is a whimsical hat with kitten ears and a simple embroidered face.
There's a mitten, too, in seven sizes, with a shaped palm and a very comfortable thumb easily attached with more sew-as-you-go tricks.
Just for fun, make the Felted Oven Mitt by knitting a big size loosely with a feltable wool and felt it down to the fit and thickness you want.
The most advanced project in the book is a sew-as-you-go sock - yes, a sock on your mid-gauge!
