Friday Inspiration. Volume Knitting.

How about this skirt for the Halloween costume?

Sandra Backlund, a Swedish knitwear designer, creates one-of-a-kind pieces that shock and inspire at the same time. Sandra uses both machine and hand-knitting in her work.

Edgy. Provocative. Exaggerated.

Her signature style in knitting is the structure and volume. Though she uses basic techniques, her vision of knitting is far from conventional.

I love these huge bobbles.

 In one of her interviews Sandra said that the perfect piece of knitwear for her is all kinds of knitwear dresses. Being obsessed with dresses myself, I fell in love with her masterpieces.

The big question is how and where do you wear them? I would need a good prep talk to put on one of these designs.

Maybe this one. The skirt is gorgeous and actually wearable.

Look up more of Sandra's designs on her website. There are no patterns for sale, but there is definitely no lack of inspiration for a knitter.

Have a nice crafty weekend!
