New Designs for The Knitter Magazine

I am absolutely thrilled that my two most recent designs for The Knitter Magazine have been styled with garments by Gudrun Sjoden! Wych Elm from Issue 111 and Rococo Diamonds from Issue 112 both look fantastic paired with the beautiful Gudrun Sjoden designs.

My Wych Elm design is a fitted cardigan knitted in West Yorkshire Spinners BFL DK. The gorgeous colour shade is olive. My inspiration for the stitch pattern came from the natural world, with the linked buds capturing the moment before a new leaf unfurls. The straight lines of rib contrast with the curved lines linking the buds to create flattering long lines on the cardigan.

My Rococo Diamonds sleeveless top is knitted in Yarn Stories Fine Merino DK. The delicate shade of grey is called Dove. The stitch pattern is formed with a series of linked diamond shapes that begin in the cast on edging. The beautiful Yarn Stories yarn shows this delicate stitch pattern really well.
