Beneath the Surface - Paperback

Sue Johnson has been designing hand-knits since her children were young in the 70's. A love of color motivated Sue to design hand-knits incorporating hand-dyed and hand-spun yarns. More recently Sue Johnson has incorporated butterflies into her designs to symbolize her metamorphosis as she matures. Exploring the use of color and texture has opened up limitless opportunities for creativity. With this book she hopes to inspire knitters to spread their wings and release their innate creativity. Sue has presented creative knitting workshops at the Embroiderers' Guild and Brighton Recreation Center in Melbourne. Sue has also developed and given presentations on the Art of Knitting. Sue originally studied and taught mathematics, then changed career to work as a registered nurse. Sue's recent work has been in research at Monash University. Sue hopes this book will inspire others to explore the possibilities of creating unique knitted items and enjoy the same pleasure she has experienced creating original hand-knits.
