Slow Knitting
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.
