MODERN Women’s Knits
Knit in color. Introducing Modern Women’s Knits, where neutrals meet color. I truly love a good neutral. Over the years, I have knitted with many wonderful hues of grey, navy, black and white. But lately, I haven’t been able to resist the exploration of intense, saturated color in combination with these neutrals. I find inspiration in pop art, contemporary art, cubism and abstract expressionism. The art world is an endless source of color inspiration. The works of Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Wassily Kandinsky and Claes Oldenburg are some of my favorites. Their art inspires me to knit in color and play with new techniques, such as adding contrast stitching or patchwork to knitwear. My hope is that you’ll have fun knitting the patterns in this collection and perhaps knit something you might not ordinarily knit. Create something that is entirely colorful; entirely you.
