Knitting has made a huge come back in fashion over the last
decade. But today's knitters and their creations are not typical of your
grandmother's knitting circle. The craze for hand knitted goods has extended
into the world of home décor.
For those who love the look of knitted home accessories but
don't have the time, there are many knitted accents on the market today. The
look of knit and crochet can be found on everything from pillows to area
rugs. Hand knitted throws make a
wonderful accent on a bed or sofa, chair or chaise. Knitted pillows can add
great texture to a sofa, bed or chair.
The popular small ottoman, called a poof, can also be found in knitted
covers. We’re even seeing knitted chairs!
Handcrafted textiles, including knit and crochet pieces, are
a wonderful way to bring a touch of the handmade into a room. Whether you knit
or crochet yourself, buy something new or proudly display a crocheted afghan
made by your grandmother, these pieces add a textural beauty to any space. Knitted and crocheted pieces can work in many
design styles ranging from traditional to contemporary. If so inspired, pick up your knitting or
crochet needles, or find a beautiful knit piece online or in a home store near
you.
Two of the professional knitters were digging right now put a fun twist on knitted fashion for the home.
Made from synthetic fiber, Kenneth Cobonpue 's Knottee Outdoor Suspension Lamp is tough enough to withstand the outdoors. Two knitting needles are skewered through the lamp’s top for a humorous touch.

the shape of chairs and footstools. Her work can be found on her website.
