Erika Knight Collectables: Glamour at Home: 15 Timeless Designs to Knit and Keep Forever

Description

Glamour at Home will inject a little glitz into your everyday life with this selection of decorative home accessories, which will turn the dullest room into a seductive salon. Glamour at Home is all about those small but oh-so significant details that give a project an unexpected lift: a basic silk cushion decorated with a cluster of mother-of-pearl buttons, or an otherwise mundane coathanger turned into a must-have accessory with ribbon, sequins and trims. Yarns are sensuous, soft and opulent: velvet chenille, whisper-fine mohair, flowing satin and sensuous silk. The collection is worked in a seductive palette of oyster pink and mother-of-pearl through to burnished bronze, teal, gold, fuchsia and damson, and occasionally trimmed with lace and ribbon, embroidered and beaded.
