Knitted Socks East and West

order quantity

NZ$ 52.00 each

Paperback

Author: Judy Sumner

Published by: Stewart, Tabori & Chang

"Knitted Socks East and West" is a compilation of 30 sock designs inspired by stitch patterns from Japan, most of which have never been seen by Western knitters until now. In "Knitted Socks East and West", author Judy Sumner compares knitting a sock to writing a haiku: both challenge you to create something beautiful and original within a sparse, strict format. In this, her first book, she recounts how she came to study hundreds of exquisite Japanese stitch patters and then apply her new knowledge to the sock designs showcased here. Whether short or long, fine or bulky, simple or complex, each of the 30 designs in "Knitted Socks East and West" is named after an intriguing aspect of Japanese culture. For example, the leg of the Origami crew socks appears to fold in and out; the Sumo slipper socks are named after the heavy, organic movement of the cables in their thick yarn; and the Ikebana knee socks highlight a textural floral design. ... more

Published by: Scala

Dorothy Eisner (1906-1984) was an American painter whose career spanned more than seven decades. She studied at the Art Students League from 1925-29 with Boardman Robinson, Kenneth Hayes Miller and Thomas Hart Benton. She worked constantly on her own track, with occasional explorations of fields or 'schools' of art through most of the twentieth century, in her studio in Greenwich Village, in the mountains of North Carolina, the valleys and rivers of Montana, and the coast of Maine. Her paintings reflect both her own past and her passionate interest in all art. Dorothy Eisner was born in 1906 and became dedicated to drawing and painting for life at the outset of the 1920s. By the l930s, a period when women artists found it difficult to achieve recognition, she exhibited frequently and was an active participant in the New York art community. Her close circle of friends included Walker Evans who she painted in the forties, as he ... more

Graffiti Now

Author: Jun Liu

Published by: Page One Publishing

Graffiti has been a visible sub-culture since the 1970s and now it has turned into a part of modern youth culture. No amount of wall-washing, it seems, will appears as a brightly-coloured rainbow, weaving itself in and out of the grey tower block landscapes. While graffiti culture and mainstream design appear to be feeding off each other and enriching their perspectives, graffiti still offers a broader room for creativity, as shown in the collection of works in this book. Through the different projects featured, it is evident that the deep-rooted relation of graffiti with street culture is and has always been its charm.
