Product Description
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. With the current revival in hand knitting still in full flow, this book explores traditional two- and three-dimensional knitting techniques in new and innovative ways.

As a textiles fanatic who has experimented a lot with embroidery, but stuck to patterns as far as knitting is concerned, I have been fired up to experiment with this book. Full of inspirational ideas for using knit techniques as a creative form, and not just for wearables and household stuff. Inspirational ideas - get it and enjoy letting yourself play

This book explores knitting techniques and the ways in which to use them in textiles. Interesting materials are used for knitting and knitting is also shown in the round. Taking knitting to the edge and beyond, this book should fire up your ideas and imagination and lead you to experiment with your own creative ideas. Beautifully illustrated and excellent instructions are given.

Having explored making jewellery using knitted wire, this book has been a real inspiration to explore lots of other possibilities as well as giving me some ideas for new jewellery designs.
I like the way the book is set out, although some of it can be quite technical which doesn't always suit me so well as I prefer to experiment more. Having said that, I would love to do a course given by the author though...
