introduction Is there anything better than layered knits?

My new pattern collection is inspired by luxurious fibres and the incomparable feel of knitted fabric. And it’s inspired by the act of knitting; these are relaxing, meditative projects.

Two wraps, a scarf, arm warmers, a cardigan, and the simplest of pullovers.

A little lace, some texture, and a few cables.

And the collection is versatile too.

You’ll see the five patterns shown in nine variations.

Switch out the colour, the fibre, and everything changes.

Knit, drape, layer and wrap. Most importantly, enjoy.

the farm I took most of the photos for this collection at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, Ontario.

It’s a gem of a place, and a National Historic Site. You’ll find beautiful old buildings with weathered paint, rolling hills, an orchard, fields of corn, barns, ornamental gardens, an arboretum, and more.

You might see a new farm kitten or a litter of piglets.

You’ll almost definitely see some horses and a few groundhogs.
