Craft Work Knit

This collection is the result of both my desire to knit my own designs without the restrictions of conventional publication and my drive to create a product that expresses my opinions about knitting as craft.

Having held a wide variety of jobs, I have developed a great respect for skill and work itself. I appreciate knitting as a skilled trade like carpentry, tailoring, or baking, and my designs reflect the connection between the skilled worker and the product of such work. I like to think of my designs as garments that workers would wear in their daily routines—regular people in outfits that happen to include a fabulous sweater or hat.

All aspects of this book were conceived and executed by Team Weaver, centered around my husband, parents, and sister, and expanding rapidly to include editors, sample knitters, photographers, and friends.

Best wishes for all your labors, knitting and otherwise,

Ann Weaver
