Meet the knitter’s knitter
Jane Slicer-Smith
Swing Swagger Drape
Thursday, 15 July at 6pm
Jane Slicer-Smith is forging a reputation here and in the US and UK as THE new big thing on the knitting scene, using landscapes both natural and manmade, art, architecture and history as inspiration.
Her new book, Swing Swagger Drape, is not just a knitting book; it is also a work of art, with stunning photography by Alexis Xenakis. Jane invites you into her world of colour, encouraging expression through technique, style, and elements of design. These contemporary pieces are unique to Jane’s view of the world, which make the book a must have
for any knitter.
Striking images accompany the detailed illustrated patterns, encouraging both experienced knitters and those not so confident, explaining clearly and in detail how to shape yarn into beautiful pieces of wearable art. Jane also includes techniques for making your own essential accessories such as buttons and hats.
Meet Jane at Kinokuniya as she introduces her new book and demonstrates her unique knitting talents.
