This Thing of Paper

Illustration by Karie Westermann

    Karie Westermann (designer of the Vedbaek shawl*, among many other lovely things) has just this morning launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a most interesting-sounding project. This Thing of Paper is, in summary, "a knitting book with ten patterns and accompanying essays – all inspired by the age of Johan Gutenberg and the invention of the printing press."

    Read all about it on Karie's blog, (see also this background post on design process/vocabulary), or go directly to the project's Kickstarter page.

    I've backed it, as have many others in the hour or so since it was launched, so don't delay if you'd like one of the 'rewards'.

 

*I have a second one on the needles just now.
