New Knits by Erika Knight

New Knits by Erika Knight

Here, Erika Knight combines conventional knitting with unusual yarns and other crafts to give it a modern and upbeat twist. Knitting is expanding upon its traditional roots and is now more closely allied to contemporary trends in both the world of fashion and interiors. This title showcases Erika's upbeat take on interiors, which can be seen in her striking black and white patched throw, comfy knitted denim beanbag and woven woollen rug. Similarly, Erika has reworked several classic designs; a traditional rose chintz cushion is translated into contemporary chunky yarns while an old-fashioned Aran is given a new lease of life as a sumptious armchair cover. The 20 projects in the book are organized into four specific colour groups, modern brights, black and whites, urban neutrals and organic naturals - each with its own distinctive chapter. Including throws, cushions and rugs for the home and a range of accessories, from sumptious slippers to a delicate beaded scarf, the book should appeal to both experiences and aspiring knitters.

Erika Knight is a much-respected knitwear and crochet designer, as well as a sought-after fashion and crafts consultant. For many years, Erika has been working towards a greater understanding of crafts, bringing them to a new generation. Through her work as a key consultant to many design companies, she has sought to align the worlds of fashion and crafts. The profile of knitting and other crafts has never been higher than it is now, and Erika has played a major role in this renaissance - she is seen by many as a knitting guru for her creativity, knowledge and vision. Erika has previously written nine highly acclaimed knitting books including Baby Bloom, Classic, Glamour, Classic at Home and Glamour at Home as well as two crochet books, Simple Crochet and Essential Crochet.
