Surface Works is a new book from Jenny Dowde, following on from her very popular Freeform Knitting and Crochet and FREEformations: Designs and Projects in Knitting and Crochet. This book is about adding surface decoration to plain knitted or crocheted backgrounds. Jenny approaches some of her 35 projects in a traditional way, others in a somewhat freeform manner, and provides a wealth of suggestions for creating textured surfaces in knitting and crochet, using fancy yarns, making your own braids and cords, suing the collage technique - and seeking design inspiration from computer programs - all beautifully illustrated and explained in clear detail. There are also countless ways of using store-bought braids and trims, beads, buttons, lace inserts, and all kinds of 'found objects' to create interesting surfaces. The projects include a host of smaller projects such as scarves, hats and neckpieces, and a number of beautiful shawls and tops. Each is decorated in a particular way, but you don't have to use the same techniques - which means you have the freedom to choose your own decorative technique or to combine several to create your own unique result.
