This book will inspire knitters and crocheters to think outside of the box. It challenges them to experiment and break with tradition - to mix methods, material, techniques and designs and enjoy the relationship that develops between design, texture, colour and shape.
Knitters and crocheters are encouraged to create new combinations with what they already have on hand - left over yarn, lacey placements and even vintage potholders mixed with new or second-hand garments. Or to transform something old into something completely new! To work on a whole garment - to embellish with embroidery or pom-poms, to mix plastic and fabric with rivets and sequins - or to just add little touches to finished garments. To explore the possibilities of mixing, matching and re-stitching with yarn and fabric to create brand new garments and accessories. To not be afraid to work without a pattern and to let themselves be inspired organically. The possibilities are endless - and the creative urge grows once you get started.
