The Alchemy of Color Knitting is written for both the knitter who loves and the knitter who fears using color. Gina Wilde begins her book with a chapter explaining color theory. She reviews the color wheel and helps you to understand principles like hue, value, and intensity. But beyond the academic grouping of the color spectrum, Wilde also explains her elemental organization of colors where colors are grouped in an intuitive sense to correspond with the natural elements. The saturated photos will appeal to the knitter who loves color, and create inspiration for future projects and palettes. The chapters move the knitter who is afraid of color into monochromatic knits and eventually into projects that combine a range of hues. 25 patterns—144 pages  | Softcover Retail: $24.95 Item No. 31250
