Natural, playful, or vintage? No matter what your outfit calls for, Beyond Beading has an answer. A trip to the seashore can end in a beautiful shell necklace. An afternoon antiquing can mean a mother of pearl bracelet by tomorrow. With eclectic materials and a few simple pages of instruction, any adornment is possible. Create stylish adornments for your neck, your wrist, your handbag, and your clothing with these 25 creative jewelry projects from renowned crafts consultant and designer Erika Knight. For novice jewelry makers and anyone who covets the hottest must-have accessories, Beyond Beading is Erika Knight’s latest contribution to the craft world. In it, she turns her skilled aesthetic eye—honed for years in her sumptuous, timeless knitted and crochet designs—to the art of jewelry making. Working with fellow craft practitioner Joy Fox, and using materials as diverse as driftwood and pebbles, pom-poms and crocheted flowers, antique glass and vintage buttons, Knight has created projects themed as “Natural,” “Playful,” and “Vintage.” These themes make it possible for women of varied tastes to find—and fashion—the perfect accent for different outfits and occasions. Most of the 25 pieces (including 8 from Joy) involve only easy techniques for threading and knotting in a variety of fibers, such as cord, wire, suede, hemp, ribbon, or leather—while a few also include other clearly explained craftwork such as basic wrapping, knitting, and crocheting. All of them are showstopping.

Beyond Beading: Jewelry Projects to Instruct and Inspire

Whether you’re a man or a woman, chances are you’re holding this book because you want to find the right knitting project for a man in your life—be it your husband, your dad, or your best friend. But men are difficult to buy clothes for, not to mention knit for. They don’t want anything fussy, or too trendy. The color palette needs to be classic and the yarn should be soft but§ durable. They want something comfortable they can wear for years. So join knitter extraordinaire Erika Knight as she takes on the knitwear that men love. Knight started her career designing menswear and over the decades she’s completely figured out their clothes-buying mentality. In Men’s Knits, she applies that expertise to come up with 20 projects that guys are sure to wear. Using classic shapes, a mostly neutral palette (but with some teals and chocolates thrown in for the slightly flashier guy), and natural yarns like wool, bamboo, and hemp, every piece is distinctive and stylish. For men young and old, these designs will become the sweaters, vests, scarves, and hats they reach for again and again. The zipper cardigan is perfect for both reading the paper on Sunday morning and a casual dinner with friends on Sunday night. The herringbone sweater will impress his future boss at his next interview, or his future in-laws at their next family gathering. The argyle vest works on every man, whether he’s buttoned-up or laid back. Together, they’ll be the new classics you’ll want to knit, give, and maybe even borrow for years to come. Whether it’s a textured vest or a hand-dyed sweater, you’re sure to find something that’ll look good on the man in your life–and not end up forever buried in his bureau.

Simple Knitting is a unique workshop-based, how-to-knit gift book that will teach you the key techniques while creating an enviable collection of knitted items. 
Each of the 20 projects in the book teaches a new skill, as well as building upon and consolidating those knitting techniques already learned through preceding projects. With a series of workshop-style masterclasses Erika Knight explains all the essential information--from achieving a perfect tension and substituting yarns or stitch textures, to more advanced cables and shaping--alongside broader design principles, such as building a color palette.
Providing a unique opportunity to learn the design secrets of one of the world's most highly-respected knitwear designers, Erika shares her special tricks of the trade within this book. Erika's signature style, for which she has become renowned worldwide, is her sophisticated simplicity. Simple Knitting is the embodiment of that elegant reductivism. Her designs prove that you can make wonderful, original items for your home and yourself--as well as gifts for family and friends--at the same time as mastering a repertoire of skills. Likewise, her preference for a refined natural palette of earthy shades with the odd highlight hue is perfectly in tune with the current mood for relaxed, homely interiors.
With inspiring photography by Yuki Sugiura that showcases each of the beautiful designs, supported with clear charts and artwork, Simple Knitting is the ultimate learn-to-knit book.
