Modern Daily Knitting:
“This will blow your mind.”
Vogue Knitting (Holiday 2019)
“For word and graphic design nerds this may be one of the coolest knitting books, ever… This intelligent volume with its strong design focus offers a new way to think about knit stitches, proportion, and the countless ways our medium can articulate a message.“
Franklin Habit / Modern Daily Knitting:
“Type designers live to help people communicate with each other. To see how one of them has chosen to communicate the craft we love is a revelation.”
