Warriston

A while back, we mentioned that we'd be putting a kit together for Kate Davies' lovely Warriston. Well it's here. At last.

We mentioned quickly that the patterns come with Kate's new digital magazine, Textisles. This was before we'd had a chance to look through it properly, but now we have and my goodness it is good. Seriously worth a read. It's wonderfully researched, beautifully written and presented and is just generally one of those things that will make you want to curl on the couch and lose yourself - with a cup of tea, of course.

 

Also, there is an ultra creative collective of contemporary textile artists in Shetland who go by the name Text-isles. In fact, the group includes the Emma Blain of Aamos Designs who is a part of the J&S Cooperative and Andrea Williamson, who designed the Whalsay Aran. We're working with the group on a little project at the moment, and can't wait to see the results.

Also reminds me that we've got two new additions to the J&S Cooperative, which should be up shortly. Yoohay!

Yum.

The Warriston pattern by Kate Davies is out. Yay!

The smock design is knitted in Jamieson & Smith Shetland Aran. I'm thinking about one in BSS19, or BSS80. And then there are a couple of shades on sale (BSS71, BSS73, and BSS74) - the perfect excuse to have more than one...

 Kate has released the pattern as part of her beautiful new digital magazine, TextIsles. Love it.

Warriston

Another beauty from Kate Davies. 

The Warriston uses Jamieson & Smith Shetland Aran, and the pattern will be available from Kate shortly. 

sigh...
