Slow Knitting by Hannah Thiessen
Like the ‘slow food’ movement, Slow Knitting encourages knitters to step back, pare down, and celebrate the craftsmanship of their work. In five chapters centred around the tenets of slow knit_ting - sourcing carefully, making thoughtfully, thinking environmentally, experimenting fearlessly, and exploring openly - Hannah Thiessen challenges knitters of all skill levels to view their practice in a new way. Each chapter contains explorations of fibre types; profiles of yarn types & makers; and garment patterns inspired by the featured fibres. Slow Knitting proposes an approach to knitting that is both minimalist and all encompassing, and emphasises what makes knitting a meditation, a passion, and a unique necessity.
