Erika Knight Book order

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.

'This isn't about following a lifestyle; this is about living. Observing not only how a home looks but honouring how it makes us feel. Delighting in the restorative process of creating with our hands. Refined utility pieces, relaxed and unstructured, reflecting the warmth and comfort of our shelter. Simple knits for everyday ease: indoors'

Erika Knight: The Collection is the ultimate compendium of timeless knitwear projects from one of the leading yarncraft designers. Divided into four sections - Classic, Classic at Home, Glamour, and Glamour at Home - this delightful project books is a compendium of all Erika's favourite patterns. Classic contains a beautiful collection of enduring wardrobe basics, from a quintessential sweater in aran cotton, to a perfect cashmere ballet cardigan. Adding sumptuous texture to any room, Classic at Home is a tightly focused collection of relaxed classic casuals, from a knit throw in the softest cashmere blend yarn to a practical wash mitt knitted in hemp. Glamour is a must-have portfolio of sensuous, sexy knits inspired by Hollywood sirens, with a lacy knit shrug, a frill-neck tea top and an applique cardigan with three-quarter sleeves. The designs in Glamour at Home are a little piece of girlie heaven, turning the dullest room into a seductive salon: a basic silk cushion decorated with a cluster of mother-of-pearl buttons, or an otherwise mundane coathanger turned into a must-have accessory with ribbon, sequins and trims. The Glamour yarns are tactile and opulent: velvet chenille, flowing satin and sensuous silk. For the Classic sections, each textile has been carefully considered for its handcrafted charm that will withstand the vagaries of fashion and ranges from cotton, alpaca and hemp to merino, linen and cashmere blends, whilst the colours of the yarns work together to create a universally appealing palette. These projects form a tightly focused capsule collection of easy-wear classic casuals and seductive glamour knits for the modern woman

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.
