In the Author's Words.....
"The combination of different textures, twisted cables, decorative seams, and asymmetric shapes, was inspired by traditional wabi (beauty that is incomplete) and sabi (beauty that comes with age), where imperfections are celebrated. The shape of each design brings the Japanese reverence for fabric to the Western ideal of clothes that are cut and shaped to the body: They focus on the coexistence of the knitted fabric and body. Feminine without being frilly and minimalist without being severe, these patterns are perfectly suited to our modern lifestyle."
From the publisher.....
"Haiku, the graceful and evocative form of Japanese poetry, celebrates nature in all its subtle and unobtrusive beauty. In Haiku Knits, this appreciation for understated, direct beauty is expressed in the texture of a felted skirt, the rhythm of a chain of twisted cables, or the casual elegance of an asymmetric sweater.
Author Tanya Alpert, a knitwear designer and fiber artist, presents 25 simple, modern garments and accessories inspired by Japanese design, featuring innovative elements and beautiful fibers. These technically simple yet stylish and sophisticated designs will appeal to fashion-forward knitters at all skill levels. Illustrated throughout with stunning photographs, this elegant book also includes an appendix of essential techniques."
