Produktbeschreibung

"Thiessen has done her research, and talked to people who truly have insight into the process of making both yarn and clothing." -Modern Daily Knitting Like the "slow food" movement,Slow Knittingencourages knitters to step back, pare down, and celebrate the craftsmanship of their work. In five chapters centered around the tenets of slow knitting-sourcing carefully, making thoughtfully, thinking environmentally, experimenting fearlessly, and exploring openly-Hannah Thiessen challenges knitters of all skill levels to view their practice in a new way. Each chapter contains explorations of fiber types; profiles of well-known yarn types, makers, and yarn suppliers; and garment patterns inspired by the featured fibers. With contributions from knitting superstars Norah Gaughan, Bristol Ivy, and many others,Slow Knittingproposes an approach to knitting that is both minimalist and all-encompassing, and emphasizes what makes knitting a meditation, a passion, and a unique necessity. "Promotes the concept of 'slow knitting' which discards the pressure to produce prolifically and instead, revolves around the idea that thoughtfully producedyarn will result in better projects for you-the crafter." -MarthaStewart.com
