Each of the 20 projects in this book teaches you a new colour-knitting technique. The core of the book is the 20 original designs, from cushions and throws to hats and scarves, that provide the perfect vehicles for practising your colourwork, whether that is random striping, tonal phasing, texture stitches or pictoral motifs.

This guide to crocheting features projects for home furnishings and accessories and is ideal as an introduction to this simple and versatile needlecraft. The designs themselves are made in a rich variety of yarns including mohair, lurex, raffia, string and leather.

Landscapes have long provided a source of inspiration for artists and makers. From the sharp concrete edges of buildings and frosted hedgerows to seaweed strewn beaches and eroded cliffs, there is so much we can take from the environment around us. Texture explores Erika Knight's personal journey through the landscape of knitted fabrics as she examines the different habitats that have inspired her designs throughout her career. Broken down into countryside, city and coast, the core of this book is a compilation of simple knitting recipes that embrace the movement for 'slow fashion' and honour the process of craftsmanship. Each of the 20 garments will teach you how to tackle knitted texture - turn a graphic rib, an intricate lace stitch, and a travelling cable into a covetable collection of jumpers, gloves, hats and socks. Through each of the projects, you will consolidate and build upon new skills that will take your knitting further. With simple and stylish shapes, Erika dispenses her designer tips for creating a series of modern yet timeless garments. Including inspiring photography that showcases the beautiful designs, this book is the ultimate source for knitted texture and belongs on every knitter's bookshelf.

Visually, this is a beautiful book, with full-page color photos of each design and detailed close-ups.
