Move beyond the basics of single colour knitting and discover how
to combine different yarns into a project to create sensational
striped and produce stylish looks without complicated techniques.
Knit in colour. Introducing Modern Women's Knits, where neutrals
meet colour. I truly love a good neutral. Over the years, I have
knitted with many wonderful hues of grey, navy, black and white.
But lately, I haven't been able to resist the exploration of
intense, saturated colour in combination with these neutrals. I
find inspiration in pop art, contemporary art, cubism and abstract
expressionism. The art world is an endless source of colour
inspiration. The works of Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy
Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Wassily Kandinsky and
Claes Oldenburg are some of my favourites. Their art inspires me to
knit in colour and play with new techniques, such as adding
contrast stitching or patchwork to knitwear. My hope is that you'll
have fun knitting the patterns in this collection and perhaps knit
something you might not ordinarily knit. Create something that is
entirely colourful; entirely you.
