The Knitted Fabric _ Dee Hardwicke

The Knitted Fabric: Colourwork Projects For You And Your Home by Dee Hardwicke is brimming with artistic inspiration.

The book includes 20 nature-inspired patterns for beautiful knitted garments and joyful pieces for the home. This creative and original book invites you to enter Dee Hardwicke's world.

Rich in artistic inspiration, this creative and original book, illustrated with beautiful watercolors and painterly photographs, brings to life the pages of Dee's sketchbooks.

As Dee explains, “I find the process of knitting very similar to painting, with each stitch being a brushstroke of color. As the stitches intertwine, they create a knitted fabric, a kind of narrative of art, making, and the people and landscapes that inspire me”.

Just like the 20 nature-inspired designs within it, this unique book is something to treasure.
