About the Book:
“…readers are guaranteed to be inspired, no matter where their interests lie.” (HC edition) American Craft magazine
“KnitKnit gets across that knitting has power as a social force and a political one, but no one represented here forgets that most importantly of all knitting is beautiful.” (HC ed.) Crafts magazine
“All the profiles are interesting reading, especially finding out where knitting became a part of these people’s lives.” (HC ed.) Knit Today magazine
“I’m really passionate and interested in this idea of what it means to take hand craft and to put it into a contemporary art context,” says Sabrina Gschwandtner.
