Revue de presse :

''This new release gives fiber enthusiasts the ability to think 'outside the box' when it comes to knitting as an art form, as literature, as an industrial piece or even as a simple garment.'' - Peacefully Knitting ''An essential book for anyone with an interest in contemporary crafts.'' - Funky Finds ''Knitting has enjoyed a massive revival in the last few years, and boy, haven't we heard about it. But while the papers and glossies have been falling over themselves to report on the rise of yarn sales in John Lewis and how many twentysomethings have been seen knitting in pubs, contemporary textile designers have been busy doing some rather more brilliant things with their needles.'' --The Guardian

''this book is a fascinating read for anyone who loves knitting and wants to learn more about its history and traditions around the world.'' --Knit Today

''A lavishly illustrated and intellectually rich book that is a must for everyone interested in the historical and cultural background to knitting as craft.'' --Yarn Forward

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

In the Loop: Knitting Now explores the progression of knitting, a craft which has come a long way from its fuzzy image of thick socks, long shawls and embarrassing motifs on Christmas jumpers. Now there are knitting groups that meet in quirky venues throughout the country, as well as hundreds of clubs and contemporary artists intent on reclaiming the craft. In the Loop maps knitting's journey from retro hobby to mainstream, contemporary trend. The book includes essays from numerous academics, artists and designers analysing contemporary knitting practice, illustrated throughout with a variety of exciting images - including artists who use knitting in their work, knitting's progression through the past few decades and other developments within the craft. Providing the reader with a fresh look at the subject, In the Loop is an essential book for anyone with an interest in contemporary knitting.
