Here's
a couple of reviews:
'British
designer Jean Moss drew upon her knowledge of and
enthusiasm for the decorative arts of the twentieth
century (architecture, theatre, furniture, ceramics,
textiles, jewelry, fashion, and poster art) as well
as her love for textural knitting to create the forty-eight
sweater and accessory designs presented in this carefully
crafted book, which is divided into four chapters:
Belle Epoque, Art Deco, Pop Art and Into the Millennium.
No
Fair Isle knitting or intarsia in sight, Moss's projects
rely on flattering shape, textural stitches, and single
colors of yarn for style and impact, and are designed
to be versatile, comfortable, and relaxing to knit.
Introducing each of the four chapters is a compelling
over view of the decorative arts of the period, plus
some personal opinions, ideas, and anecdotes from
Moss. This book leaves you reaching for your knitting
needles and your art-history books - and knowing a
bit more about the ways in which this accomplished
designer thinks and works.' Interweave
