The illusions you see in the pictures above are far more complex than most illusion knitting. We do not know of anyone else working with illusions in this artistic way. Steve’s ability to draw and paint give him the advantage of being able to create such detailed pieces. The original drawing and charting are complicated. The knitting is no more difficult than for simple illusion knits. It merely needs careful counting on most wrong side rows. Anyone who can do knit and purl stitches could make any of these pictures. |
