Customer Reviews

Innovation and Inspiration

The photography is beautiful, and the artist's bios are inspiring. No art school needed, just the willingness to explore traditional techniques in new and inspiring ways. I love this book and all the images that it conjures in my head. It gives me permission to experiment. No telling what will happen.

Art

This book is like an art album. You can spend by it hours, even if you will never use it in practice.

Knitting Art: 150 Innovative Works from 18 Contemporary Artists

This book brings knitting to an entirely different level. We think of knitting as being primarily for garments but it doesn't have to be. This expands knitting to the level of art.

Fantastic and beautiful

There is alot to see in this book, all of the art is very new and fresh. Unbelievable what you can do with knitting. There are no patterns in this book, just lots of eye candy.
