One of my all-time favourite knitting designers is Kate Davies<\/a>. She is from Scotland and many of her designs are influenced by the landscape and history of Scotland and Shetland. She has written several books, where she often combines and integrates stories of the area, history, tradition and beautiful photography with the patterns. Like the Moder Dy<\/a> hap, where she tells the story of how these giant shawls were constructed and why, the origin and purpose of the different parts of the shawl and how she has adapted it to modern techniques and yarns. You can read more about the Moder Dy pattern in Kate’s blog<\/a>. This hap is on my waiting list. I just have to spin a little more yarn before I can begin.<\/p>\n

In the textile department of my book shelf I have three of her books, Colours of Shetland<\/a>, The book of haps<\/a> and Inspired by Islay<\/a>, and I can recommend them all.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what it is about her patterns that is so appealing. Perhaps it it the foundation in traditional techniques that she has adapted to a contemporary context. One example is the Paper dolls<\/a>\u00a0sweater pattern, a traditional sweater with a Fair Isle construction but with a more contemporary motif. I knit it a couple of years ago for my daughter. She complained that she always got hand-me-downs. But this one was only for her. Knit in my handspun, of course. Another such example is the Oa sweater<\/a>. Also a Fair isle pattern, but knit as a modern hoody. It is also on my list and also in need of yarn being spun.<\/p>\n

Connecting a pattern to a story is also something that gives a design an extra meaning. Like the Stevenson sweater<\/a>\u00a0and Stevenson gauntlets<\/a> that origin from the story of a famous light house engineer. I knit it in my handspun yarn, but obviously I didn’t check the gauge properly and I had to make lots of adjustments to get a good fit.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps it is just because her designs look so darn good and are so ingeniously smart constructed. The Northmavine hoody<\/a> is one such design. The clever striping that looks just like blue stripes, but actually contains four different shades of blue and turquoise (you find the same stripes in the Northmavine hap<\/a> as well). The clever hood construction that is so obvious when you think about it. And the super smart edgings \u00a0and finishings that don’t have one single seam. That is an ingenious pattern.<\/p>\n

And as you may have seen on several of my videos I wear my Northmavine hoody a lot. I bought the pattern and the yarn in Shetland at Shetland wool week 2015 and I’m longing to go back. Perhaps the hoody takes me a little closer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
