Description
This visually-rich and inspirational book takes a wholly unique and creative approach as designer and blogger Emma Robertson walks readers through the entire knitting design process from inspiration to execution. Beginning with Emma's visual thought process - hand drawn sketches, colour and yarn pulls and mood boards - and ending with 15 fashionable projects that incorporate non-yarn materials (think: knitted vest with a leather pocket, a breezy tank with a dip-dyed finish, or a chunky cowl with hot pink thread), this book will motivate knitters to look around them, cull inspiration and design their own fabulous looks.
