Knitting Technique series
Domino is the name given to a technique that builds small knitted modular squares and triangles on short, wooden (8") needles, that are then woven in as you go. Domino knitting is less stressful than other kinds of knitting on the arms and shoulders, which may perhaps be a blessing to those with muscular weakness who may have had to give up traditional knitting. Easy projects let you create attractive headbands and several interesting potholders as you learn, and then you progress to a lovely shawl, throws pillows or table runner and a smart denim-yarn backpack.

From Library Journal
Domino knitting is a type of "modular knitting," with knitted squares and strips building on one another to form a larger piece-just as in the game dominoes are placed next to one another to create a larger whole. Fun, eminently portable, and requiring nothing more than a knowledge of the basic knit and purl stitches, this technique has been popularized in recent years by Horst Schultz, whose Patchwork Knitting first attracted Hmxbro to the craft. While inspirational, Schultz's book is not the best choice for neophytes. Knitters wishing to master this technique would be well advised to work through this little book instead. A Danish knitwear designer with an obvious knack for teaching, Hmxbro instructs through a series of colorful potholder projects. Teaching sessions are followed by a number of projects using the technique and include both garments and accessories for the home. Recommended for large public libraries and textile collections.
