Wool Studio Volume 9 Digital Edition

Description

As knitters, we also can become indifferent to the beauty of our work. We forget that the power of knitting is in the making, not the finished object. How many times have you been focused solely on finishing a project, knitting as quickly as possible while watching TV or socializing? I certainly have “mindless” projects that I can work on without paying much attention. Knitting becomes background noise, not something we take the time to examine and appreciate.

The projects in this collection are designed to be enjoyed, from casting on the first stitch to wrapping yourself in the finished object. Designers Antonia Cavaliere, Sanna Mård Castman, Estefania Espindola, Donna Estin, Zanete Hussain, Susanna IC, Carolyn Noyes, Courtney Spainhower, Shilo Weir, and Griselda Zárate created these sweaters and wraps with delightful visual details for the eyes and textures for the fingers. These projects are named for everyday natural phenomena that we should take time to stop and appreciate: the scent of rain, the shapes of clouds, and the colors and textures of rocks.
