Brimming with artistic inspiration and filled with patterns for gorgeous knitwear and joyful pieces for the home, this creative and original book invites you to step inside Dee Hardwickes world. Illustrated throughout with beautiful watercolours and painterly photography,The Knitted Fabricbrings the pages of Dees sketchbooks to life. As Dee explains, I nd the process of knitting very similar to painting, with each stitch being a brushstroke of colour. As stitches loop together, 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.
