I absolutely love knitwear, and have been itching to start a blog…so here is ‘knit kicks’. When browsing through knitting blogs, I would never find any posts about knitwear on the catwalks. Most of the knit based blogs out there are based on personal knitting projects. So I started my own little blog project…to expose knitters to something new… steering you away from highstreet or knitting patterns and directing you to new artistic or catwalk looks. Knitting is not just an old woman clicking her needles in a rocking chair. It is entering a different generation now and more and more designers are hopping on the knit wagon.
Most people won’t really get why I admire these things that they think are ugly, but the creations I talk about I love purely because they are different and more interesting than looking at a cardigan. Some of the garments, please remember…are not knitted to be worn. They are merely stand out pieces to create attention, or artwork. Honestly, if you say ” I would never wear that!” it’s definately not the first time I would’ve heard that!
KNITkicks began August 2008, it moved to knitkicks.co.uk March 2010. It is currently run by Jen Jarvis. For any more information please email knitkicks@googlemail.com
