Typeknitting
explores the typographic potential of
hand knitting techniques like Fair Isle, Slipstitch,
Mosaic, and Patchwork Knitting. This results in tools like knitting patterns, knitable typefaces and a book, empowering knitters who want to include messages, and graphic designers looking for tactile techniques.
In this ongoing research, Typeknitting involves type foundries, yarn makers, pattern designers, art directors and other textile communicators. The dialogue between digital typography and the analog craft of knitting is continued in workshops at knitting & lettering festivals, museum and art schools.
