Knitting with wire is becoming wildly popular among knitters as well as beadworkers, wireworkers, and jewelry makers. The author, Nancie M. Wiseman, has researched the history of this unusual technique and developed, through trial and error, the how-tos for making your own knitted projects with wire. After learning the basics of wire knitting, you can try your hand at one of the 30 exciting and innovative projects to knit by hand, machine or using the Viking technique (without needles). Projects range from the simple to the more complex and are accompanied by clear directions and illustrations. Complete descriptions of tools and techniques, embellishing with beads, and how to make findings and finishes for your projects are also included. With only some basic knitting skills you can create beautiful and unique projects with wire including necklaces, bracelets, baskets, beaded purses, and much more! Knitting with Wire is the second book in Interweave's technique series, following the wildly popular Domino Knitting.
Nancie M. Wiseman worked her way through college making wedding dresses while she studied to be a registered nurse. In 1987 she opened her yarn shop, Nancie Knits, in Sacramento, California. The store has since closed, but Nancie continues to teach, design, and write. Winner of the The Knitting Guild of America International Design competition in 1992, Wiseman designs and writes patterns for Prism, Lorna's Laces, Rainbow Mills, Cascade Yarns and Trendsetter Yarns. She has published articles on knitting in Interweave Knits, Knit 'n Style, and Knitter's magazines, and an article on crochet in PIECEWORK magazine. She has also published designs for Knitters and Cast On magazines. In the fall 1997 issue of Martha Stewart Living, Wiseman was the consultant for the article “Knitting 101.” This is her fifth book.
