Description
Rocker/knitter/author: Share Ross personifies the indie spirit driving both knitting and music today
Share Ross is addicted to the needle the knitting needle. A few years back, this punk guitarist and singer wouldn t have given knitting a second thought. She is a dyed-in-the-wool rocker, and knitting . . . well, knitting was for grannies. Then a friend showed up at her house wearing a scarf that she found totally amazing. When Ross asked her where she d gotten it, she said she d knit it herself. Ross was hooked.
With Punk Knits, Ross shares her passion and unorthodox approach to the ancient craft she s so grateful our grannies preserved. All of the 26 designs beginner- to intermediate--level projects that include arm- and leg-warmers, scarves, miniskirts, hats, and sweaters draw their inspiration from the style and independent spirit of rock n roll legends like Sid Vicious, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith, and the New York Dolls, and they re all modeled by pierced and tattooed Hollywood rock n rollers and scenesters.
If you think knitting can t be punk, consider this from Ross: Knitting can be as artistic as you want. You can make a statement. And by knitting garments instead of buying them, you can snub the corporations that strip away your individuality. So what s not punk about knitting?
