It does give directions. I haven't had time to try any of it, but I surely will. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I THOUGHT I swore off modular knit garments as too tedious, too ugly and having all those fussy ends ... *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014* I am a self-described "Myra-ite"-- I can't get enough of Myra Wood's ideas for knitting and crochet. I agree with a previous reviewer that this book may not be for everyone, but I disagree that you need to be very proficient at math. If this were so, this math-anxious knitter would still be wallowing in a mire of confusion, rather than merrily making a "Radiant Rainbow" bag and rearranging the stash I thought would make endless scarves into what I think will become a coherent (and beautiful) sweater.I THOUGHT I swore off modular knit garments as too tedious, too ugly and having all those fussy ends to sew in!I THOUGHT I could throw away my protractor (good riddance) after 9th grade geometry and that the discipline had no place in my world save for slicing pie. (If my math teacher had told me I could KNIT triangles, trapezoids and enless other shapes, and fit them all into a garment, I might not have daydreamed in class quite so much!)I WANTED to design my own knitwear, but was stumped--would I ever have the skill or the inspiration or the creativity to design something that hasn't been seen in dozens of other patterns?I'll ADMIT I'd rather knit (and crochet!) in my own directions than to follow endless charts written by someone else.Knit in New Directions is so FULL of ideas that it may be intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, you realize that it introduces you to the many different ways you can knit together & piece together creative elements. Some techniques I enjoy more than others. I enjoy thinking on my needles & Myra tells me it's okay not to know what those explorations are going to turn into at the start. And no, you don't have to learn everything in the book all at once!Years ago, someone told me there are "product knitters", who see knitting as a means to an end (a sweater, socks, mittens, a scarf), and there are "process knitters", who enjoy the journey. I've always said I'm a little of each. There's nothing like pride in a knitted item well done, but it's the most fun for me to explore and experiment & learn something new with each project. If you agree with that statement, you might want to check out Knit in New Directions! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just for knitting, useful for crocheters and weavers *by N***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2014* This book is about looking at the craft in a fresh new light. To knit (or crochet) shapes and fit them in a template. The result would be unique and individual as the knitter or crocheter themselves. Weaving would apply beautifully as you can use your weaving pieces (with fusible interfacing to stabilize the weaving), cut and sew them together to fit the template. For previous reviewers that gave this book a poor rating, this book is not about conventional written out patterns. This book is about taking those swatches, leftover yarns, odds and ends and turning them into a thing of beauty...piece by piece at a time. It may seem overwhelming to do this for a wearable garment, but starting out making a bag gives a beginner a sense of understanding of the process and the confidence to pursue the next level of this approach.Another note about this book. Templates are not a 'new' thing. Templates are used in Irish Crochet and Modified Irish Crochet brought about by Russian and Ukrainian crafters. Templates are used in quilting. You use a template (pattern) in sewing. Freeform crochet and knitted garments are piece together through a template. The author demystifies the process. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3140820-knit-in-new-directions-a-journey-into-creativity](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3140820-knit-in-new-directions-a-journey-into-creativity) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
