By: Jantiene van ElkAll over North America and Europe, a brand-new generation has taken up knitting - and is transforming the venerable needlecraft by blurring the boundary between craft and art. (...)
Five years ago, Sabina Gschwandter founded a zine to tackle the blurry edge between craft and fine art to chroncile the trend. Now, her book KnitKnit brings together profiles of 27 of the most talented artist-crafters knitting today. But KnitKnit does more than just document their ingenious creations. Each of the profiled knitters has contributed a project - a kimono-style sweater, a pair of high-heeled boots, a hobo-style shoulder bag, geodesic-patterned cap, even a teddy bear knit from fiberglass insulation - meant to inspire you and follow your creative path (text from book jacket)

I had never seen this book before (or heard of it) but then I saw it in the museum shop of the Textielmuseum and I immediately bought it. I think it's a great book, I love reading about all these different knitwear designers, what they do, how they started, etc. I think it's a great book, I'm glad I bought it.
