Threads of Memory (Claudia Quintanilla)

Threads of Memory: Knitting with Meaning

by Claudia Quintanilla

Claudia Quintanilla's work reflects her belief that knitting can serve as a form of communication, much like writing or speech, carrying forward memories, emotion, and traditions. The 18 knitting patterns here invite knitters to discover new techniques--colorwork, cables, lace, embroidery, and crochet--and perhaps to discover something new about themselves in the process.
