Winterfold Vest in Making Stories 14!
Making Stories Issue 14 is titled Forest Respite and my Winterfold vest is full of beautiful cable leaves and long lines of garter rib branches. The design combines texture and cables to evoke the feel of the majestic trees surrounding you whilst walking through the forest!

Hedgerow Shawl in Knitting 260!
My Hedgerow Shawl pays tribute to the sensitive approach to sustainability at Chilton grounds Farm and their resulting beautiful yarns.
Knitted in gorgeous Saxon DK yarn, the Hedgerow Shawl is worked from the top down, combining a wide rectangular centre section with triangular increase sections on either side.
A hedgerow-inspired blossom stitch pattern is worked within the centre rectangle. The outer triangles are knitted with garter stitch ridges separated by bands of stocking stitch. This creates a lovely contrast between the inner and outer parts of the shawl. All three sections are linked at the lower border with the blossom stitch pattern worked across the whole shawl.
