Internationally acclaimed knitwear designer Fiona Ellis shares the meditative power of "mindful" knitting in this collection of 20 stunning cable designs. Enriched by notes from the author about the spark behind her creative process, "Inspired Cable Knits" is ideal for intermediate and returning knitters looking for a new approach to a traditional technique.
Fascinated by nature's wonderful variety of patterns and textures, Ellis offers new twists on cable knits. Inspired by the beauty of sand rippled by the tide, the grooves and ridges of tree bark, jagged lightning bolts, and yoga poses-these patterns are beautiful and unique.
