Colour is the most personal element a knitter brings to her work.
Vibrant colours combined in exciting patterns can make a project
sing; dull colours or jarring combinations can just as easily break
the same project. Yet even experienced knitters often feel
uncertain about stepping outside safe but predictable colour
choices. Noted knitwear designer and colour connoisseur Kristin
Nicholas encourages readers to conquer their colour inhibitions,
learn a little basic colour theory, and create personally
satisfying fibre palettes.. Any beautiful display can become the
inspiration for an upcoming knitting project! The fresh collection
of 25 designs for hats, mittens, scarves, socks, and sweaters that
Kristin has created for "Kristin Knits" showcases her extraordinary
feel for colour. Her distinctive palette, influenced by Indian and
French provincial textiles, is recognizable in five exciting
designs for each type of garment. Kristin's innovative stitch
combinations are another hallmark of her fearless ways with knitted
colour. She adds stripes and checks to rib stitches, bobbles and
fringe to edgings, and even embellishes entire projects with a few
basic embroidery stitches. Welcome to a Technicolor world of
knitting!
