Erika Knight ushers in the next wave of knitting with her latest collection of creative designs. By matching basic knit stitches with other easy craft techniques and incorporating innovative materials like fine wire, beads, woven fabric, and recycled plastic with conventional yarns, Knight takes knitting far beyond its traditional boundaries into new, inspired realms. Easy yet inventive, her projects bring a hip, artsy edge to items once deemed homespun.
The twenty projects - which include wire napkin rings, an Aran armchair cover, and a net fabric bag - teach knitters how to add such creative skills as felting, patch-work, and beading to their repertoires. Each project is featured in a full-page color photo and in close-up how-to shots. For beginners with contemporary tastes and accomplished knitters interested in expanding their range, Simple Knits with a Twist presents a world of amazing possibilities.
