Many knitters want to design their own garments but do not have the foundation to do so successfully. From the initial spark of inspiration to sewing the last seam, Knitwear Design Workshop will guide the knitter through every aspect of garment design.
Showcasing designs by 16 budding and experienced designers along with the author herself, Knitwear Design Workshop: Duets and Inspirations, continues the creative journey begun with the first book. Each designer "sings" a duet with Shirley, selecting one of her iconic patterns as their personal inspiration and taking it in a different direction to create a new and unique garment. Here we see both the Design Process and the Creative Journey together in action as each designer takes both inspiration and the techniques and skills taught in the first book to follow their own creative inner voice. Both a pattern book and an inspiration for those who love fine hand knitwear design.
The art of hand knit garment design begins with the first book in the series, Knitwear Design Workshop: A Comprehensive Guide to Hand Knits. Thoroughly immersing the knitter in all areas of design, from taking body measurements, selecting garment types and fabric to reading charts, making swatches and writing patterns, the author walks the reader through completing the calculations for designing sweaters, dresses, skirts, coats and executing all the little details that make for impeccable finished garments: sleeves, collars, necklines, buttonholes and pockets. The book includes worksheets to use as aids along the way as you plan your own hand knit designs.
