Book from New MagsSlow Knitting - A Journey from Sheep to Skein to Stitch
Like the "slow food" movement, Slow Knitting encourages knitters to take a step back, cut back and celebrate the craftsmanship in their work. In five chapters centered on the principles that underlie slow knitting - buying carefully, making thoughtfully, thinking environmentally, experimenting fearlessly, and exploring openly - Hannah Thiessen challenges knitters at all levels to see their practice in a new way.
Each chapter includes explorations of fiber types, profiles of well-known yarn types, manufacturers, and yarn suppliers, and garment patterns inspired by the featured fibers. With contributions from knitting superstars Norah Gaughan, Bristol Ivy, and many others, Slow Knitting proposes an approach to knitting that is both minimalist and inclusive, highlighting what makes knitting a meditation, a passion, and a unique pleasure.
