<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Go bold with gorgeous color blocking and graphic knitting projects. <p/><i>Graphic Knits</i> is a collection of 20 patterns featuring modern colorwork inspired by geometric motifs. Fresh and bold, the knitting projects are created by an up-and-coming design star. <p/>Author Alexis Winslow makes use of color-knitting techniques such as stripes, Fair Isle, intarsia, and slipped stitches. With each knitting pattern, she demonstrates how to use these techniques to create visually appealing garments. <p/>Flattering silhouettes expertly integrate vibrant colorwork or graphic detail for maximum effect. These two elements--shape and pattern--engage in a playful and mutually flattering relationship across each knitting pattern. Many of the 20 pieces have unexpected, modern details: an oversized, chunky cable scarf is given vivid personality through color blocking. A shapely sweater sports a pretty pattern around the collar--but instead of a traditional Scandinavian motif, bright polka dots create something fresh and new.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Fans of her past designs definitely won't be disappointed--this book is loyal to her aesthetic through and through. There's a good balance of the innovative with the wearable and the not-too-troublesome-to-knit. --Dull Roar <p/>I love how she uses color together to make some super bold-looking pieces. --Jen the Bossy Big Sister <p/>There are plenty of designs which are suitable for adventurous beginners, but those with intermediate and advanced skills will also find plenty to keep their needles busy: interesting construction abounds, and most designs have notes included to describe the unusual design or construction elements thoroughly, along with a schematic. --Handmade By Stefanie <p/>The 20 designs explore the potential of pattern and shape to create eye-catching garments and accessories that will be fun to make. --The Knitter<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alexis Winslow</b> is an artist from Norman, Oklahoma, now living in Brooklyn, New York, where she works as a print-textile designer.
