In this symphony of stitch patterns, a merging of minds and hands, Shirley Paden collaborates with knitwear artists from around the world to offer knitters never-before-seen designs. Each garment is a wearable work of art inspired by the techniques taught in Shirley's virtual knitting workshops.
After years of teaching handknit garment design and experiencing her students' joy for the creative process, Shirley distilled those lessons into her first book Knitwear Design Workshop (KDW). This seminal reference guide for knitters snowballed into a series of global events. Knitting enthusiasts and designers from around the world came together to participate in an online revelation they called Design-Alongs (DALs). Part design bootcamp part Knit-Along, these virtual challenges yielded a series of unique designs. Duets & Inspirations is the creative culmination of their journey. Featured patterns include:
