In the Author's Words.....
"This book assumes a basic knowledge of knitting, with more attention given to creative interpretation of technique rather than basic knitting know-how. However, my initial aim is to return you to these basics, so that you can build a strong foundation from which to launch your own experimental knitting. Understanding exactly what you are doing, at a fundamental level, will give you the ability to devise your own stitch patterns, unpick mistakes with confidence and, eventually, deconstruct existing patterns."(pg 7)
From the publisher.....
"Innovative hand-knitting techniques in rows and rounds for the adventurous fibre artist and craft maker, worked in diverse and unusual materials, such as wire, paper yarn, plant materials and plastics, found and recycled materials, rope and elastics.
Samples are backed up with in-depth information relating to technique, fibres and materials and their unique properties.
Wonderfully illustrated with the best contemporary knitted textiles and knitted jewellery available today, the book covers:
1. Equipment, materials and their properties
2. All about yarns and fibres and working with off the shelf yarns and hand made cordage
3: Big Knitting with conventional and unconventional materials: Ridged, slitted and rippled surfaces
4: Edgings and borders (including wire knitted jewellery)
