Jean Moss takes us on a journey through the decorative arts of the twentieth century, sharing her insights and design inspirations. The decorative arts are "a wonderful source for the knitwear designer: architecture, theater, furniture, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, fashion, and posters all carry the distinctive signatures of their time and creator." The designs take on extra meaning as we read Jean's often informative, occasionally quirky commentary. The journey starts at the turn of the century with the opulence and sinuous arabesques of the Belle Époque. Moving on to the twenties, these curving lines turn sleek and sophisticated with the growth of Art Deco. Our next stop revisits the vibrant offbeat styles of Pop Art in the swinging sixties. Finally, to mark the new millennium, Jean looks with confident eclecticism to sources as diverse as ethnic symbolism and fisher ganseys to create a timeless capsule of contemporary classics that are a pleasure to knit. --From publisher description.

As some knitters craft mittens and sweaters, others find themselves taking flight into the realm of art. Some become true fiber artists, creating exhibition-quality quilts and sweaters and shawls, yarn mobiles and sculptures and gigantic abstract installations. An exploration of art knitting, this book profiles eighteen of the most prominent and intriguing practitioners of this craft-turned-art. Karen Searle, herself a recognized fiber artist, examines the works and inspirations of each of these knit artists. Numerous photographs illustrate each profile, documenting these artists’ work and at the same time offering inspiration to those who might transcend the purely practical aspect of knitting. Among the artists encountered here are such nationally known knitters as movement founder Katharine Cobey, Carolyn Halliday, Debbie New, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Lindsay Obermayer, Kathryn Alexander, and others.
