Knit a painting and unleash your inner artist

Heritage Blanket uses easy knitting patterns and the wonderful array of yarns available today to take you on a creative knitting adventure.

Everyone has an inner artist and a creative soul

This e-book has been designed as a testimony to the inner artist in us all. And especially for those who pursue knitting as a passion.

You're an artist
Every time you choose yarns, colours and knitting stitches, you're an artist, making choices as a painter must before applying paint to canvas.

Heritage Blanket takes you on a creative journey

And inspires you to make a magnificent heritage blanket as an heirloom for your family.

And all for a small donation of $9.95 which will be used to support knit-a-square in its work to provide warmth for the AIDS orphans of southern Africa.

Creative knitting is more than being able to knit
You don't have to be an advanced knitter to work the magic of these knitting stitches from textures, colours and lustrous shades of wool and yarn. Each ball or skein is a work of art in itself.

It's all in the combination of colours and textures
The beauty and the art of this blanket will unfold as you knit each small block. And a knitted canvas of infinite visual and sensual pleasure will be yours to enjoy when they are all stitched together.

Knitting is meditating
The simple knitting instructions and easy knitting patterns will allow you to enjoy the reflective, relaxing art of knitting. Sit back and enjoy the soothing rhythms of your knitting needles while you knit your masterpiece.

Sleep under a moving work of art

You will sleep under a kaleidoscope of colours and textures, influenced by, and constantly changing, as the light moves through its daily cycless.

So many amazing choices
If you are itching to chose your yarn and get knitting, then Heritage Blanket will help guide you through this great creative knitting project, from choosing your colour range, suggested yarn types, and knitting stitches.

And the choices are all yours!
Heritage Blanket provides you with the knitting instructions for all 96 easy knitting patterns. But you can change every one to suit your creativity.

The most exciting part
The most exciting challenge of this creative knitting project is arranging the blocks when they are all done. It's like working with mosaics, each arrangement making a different visual canvas.

The book also outlines the steps for arranging the blocks and joining them.

A living knitting pattern book

You can preserve your heritage blanket by using the book to record your choices of yarns, colours and stitches. There is plenty of room in the pattern blocks to do this and if you need more, just print out extra pages.

Easy knitting patterns
There are 96 blocks in the blanket which measures 5' x 6.6' or
(1.5 x 2 m). There are six block patterns per page numbered from 1 - 96 with clear and simple knitting instructions for you to follow. Each block is illustrated so that you can clearly recognise the knitting stitches being used.

You are the artist, so you can change the blocks around, knit different stitches and change the variation of the stripes and choice of colours and textures on every block. The patterns are there to follow if you choose, or to act as an inspiration for your own creative flair.
