Winter 2012
Greetings from a crisp autumnal London. As winter fast approaches, I am thrilled to be rolling out Cotton & Cloud’s inaugural hand knitting winter collection! This selection includes seven new garments and accessories as well as two designs as seen in The Knitter and Simply Knitting magazines. Each of the seven new designs have been given a Japanese name, which is used to evoke its own theme. Cotton & Cloud designs are inspired by friends all over the world who have kindly offered their support over the years. This collection would not have been possible without you all. I continue to be passionate about discovering innovative techniques and designs in such a traditional craft and will always want to share this love with you. I hope you enjoy my first collection.
Best regards,
Happy Knitting!
